This is beginning to bother me. How does the Finder (under MultiFinder) send messages to each of the open applications to close when the user selects "Shut Down" from the "Special" menu? Obviously it is not a patch to the _Shutdown macro (or is it? I'm not sure how patches are handled under MultiFinder) nor does it seem to be procedures installed via ShutDwnInstall (or do procedures installed only execute if the application containing them is the active one? That would seem silly). This is bothersome to me because I use MPW 2.0.2 as a CLI more often than I use the finder, and it's irritating to have to flip out to the finder to quit (even MPW's "shutdown" command fails to notify applications). If this has been covered, send answers via e-mail, etc, etc. "It is a pity that you Autobots die so | Robert Menke easily..." | rgm@OCF.berkeley.edu -Galvatron | Robert.Menke@bmug.fidonet.org TEAM CS -- Making Tomorrow's Mistakes Today!
