Does anyone know if it is possible to use MacroMaker for issuing a ShutDown command? The problem I see is that when you use MacroMaker to define a macro, you must perform the macro and then save it in MacroMaker. Of course, shutting down the Mac would not allow you to save the macro. Ideally, I would like to be able to hit a Control-F1, or something of the sort, in order to shut my Mac SE down. Also, does anyone have any ideas about the possibility of configuring a Mac SE so that a ShutDown command in the Finder will do a "true" shut down (i.e. like on a Mac II). If there is any hardwiring to be done, which I assume there would be, could it be done by a novice electrician, or would you advise skipping this option? Thanx for any and all help, Andy Markham (markham@sunmail.cs.unc.edu) Computer Science Department University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill P.S. Please respond via e-mail or post to comp.sys.mac

I was a little disappointed that the SE/30 does not startup and shutdown
like the Mac II also. The nice opening chord is there, but no keyboard
on switch. What is so different about the SE and Mac II that they turn on
and off differently?

The Mac II's CPU can be hidden under a table, which forced Apple to put the power switch somewhere more accessible. Apple probably saves a few dollars on each SE and SE/30 by using the simpler power switch. --Stuart A. Malone
