I have seen what appear to be three versions of Finder 6.1 accompanying System 6.0.2. The only VISIBLE difference (the version numbers are the same) is with the command-key equivalents for Restart and Shutdown under the Special menu. The first version I saw had command-R and command-S for Restart and Shutdown, respectively. The second version I saw had NEITHER, just like in previous versions of the Finder. The third had no equivalent for Restart, but had command-Q for Shutdown. Also, the version that had R and S got to me with the vertical icon phase set at 15 pixels (i.e. icons in Finder windows are staggered up and down across a line, rather than having them in a straight line). I changed this in the LAYO resource because I didn't like it. Have I been seeing home-altered copies of the Finder? Which of the above configurations did Apple release? All of them? Just one? Please tell me whether I'm using good software! If you e-mail replies I am likely to see them; my system often erases articles before I can catch up. I will summarize responses to the net. -- Mark H.

I find it very useful to use command-Q to shutdown my machine, which I did with ResEdit & Finder 5.5. It's sort of like logging off -- just keep hitting command-Q until the Mac II shuts off. Of course, sometimes hit command-Q twice by mistake, but I've never lost something important this way. Overall, it's very useful.
