Right, but in Classic as in OS 9, the lack of protected memory means
force-quitting an app may (in my experience *does*) make the entire OS
unstable until it's restarted.

Of course, it appears there's no way from the command line to identify an
individual app running in Classic, so that looks less attractive as an
option anyway.

Classic strikes me as pretty much dead-end technology anyway. I'd either
migrate the older apps to an OS 9 box or-- ideally-- switch to using native
OS X apps across the board. Classic, like Virutal PC, is an incredible feat
of engineering; also like VPC, however, it's best suited to occasional use.
If you have to use the other OS all the time, better to get a box that runs
it natively.
