Here's a simple answer to your problem. Using Resedit w/menu, simply add the commands Control-R to Restart and Control-S to Shut Down. This is accomplished by opening the Finder under Resedit, then opening MENU, then opening #5. You then set the commands as R and S, which will automatically be added to the menu in the Finder. Using Quickeys or MacroMaker, setting two buttons such as F14 & F15 on the keyboard as Restart and Shut Down should be trivial.

This is all a bit excessive (if you're in Quickeys) since Quickeys provides a built in Restart/Shutdown function; its in the special menu.

MacroMaker intercepts the shutdown request and will bring up its own window, asking you to save the macro that is currently in the recorder. After you do this, the actual shutdown is carried out. On my machine that I am using right now, I defined Command-Q to be the shutdown (much easier than getting out ResEdit). -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)

On my machine that >I am using right now, I defined Command-Q to be the shutdown (much easier >than getting out ResEdit). Absolutely. Macromaker works just fine in recording a shutdowm macro. I've found that an invaluable timesaver in taking our Dynamac portable through airport security inspections. If you ask for manual (instead of X-ray) inspection, the security folks always want you to show that the machine works. If you have a shutdown macro assigned to a keystroke, then you can go through that procedure without unpacking, connecting, and removing the mouse. (To say nothing of finding a place to use it!) I'm a bit paranoid, though, and use two modifier keys, not just command, on the keystroke assignment. - John Gersh --------------------------------------------------------------------- gersh@aplvax.jhuapl.edu {backbone!}mimsy!aplcen!aplvax!gersh The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Johns Hopkins Rd., Laurel, MD 20707 (301) 953-5503
