MultiFinder
The part of earlier Mac operating systems that allowed multiple programs to be open at the same time and cooperatively multitasked. Its use was optional as many earlier Macs had limited memory. MultiFinder was prevalent in System 6 and became part of Finder in System 7, at which time it lost its identity as a separate element.
