I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN POKING AROUND APPLEWORKS (AND THE PRODOS MLI) AND HAVE DISCOVERED A MYSTERIOUS UNDOCUMENTED CALL TO THE MLI. WHEN A PROGRAM EXECUTES THE QUIT / BYE COMMAND, THE MLI DOES A $65 CALL (IE. THE PROGRAM CALLS THE MLI WITH PARAMETER $65. NOW, I HAVE THE PRODOS TECH. REF. MANUAL, AND IT SAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT A $65 CALL, AND NOWHERE SAYS WHAT THE BASIC "BYE" COMMAND OR AW "QUIT" COMMAND ACTUALLY DOES. THEY ALL SEEM TO ISSUE THIS MYSTERIOUS $65 COMMAND. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME DOCUMENTATION AS TO WHAT THIS IS DOING? (THIS MAY HELP ME FIX THE PROBLEM I TALK ABOUT IN "AW 2.0 / MOUSE DESK" QUESTION) THANKS , PAT SURRY .

(If I mention Caps Lock keys, I'll regret it.) My hardcover P8 Technical Reference describes the QUIT call ($65) in detail in section 5.1.5.2, "Quitting System Programs." This starts on page 87. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions expressed in this tome Send PERSONAL mail ONLY (please) to: | should not be construed to imply that AppleLink PE: Matt DTS GEnie: AIIDTS | Apple Computer, Inc., or any of its CompuServe: 76703,3030 | subsidiaries, in whole or in part, Usenet: mattd@apple.com | have any opinion on any subject."
