Abstract: (APS)

Using a generalization of the |ΔI|=12 rule, we analyze the nonleptonic weak decays of pseudoscalar charmed mesons. We call attention to the likelihood that the dominant decays will be into many-body channels. Special attention is devoted to the properties of charmed final states just above charm threshold in e+e− annihilation. The questions of charged multiplicity, copious kaon production, and energy carried by neutrals are explored.
