I don't have the source, but he may be able to let you know how to get it. The address he put on SCSIbus is: P.

Mercer >681 East Seneca Tpk. #A4 >Syracuse, NY 13205 >(315) 492-3348 In the notes for the Programmer's Key INIT it says: "The code to display the icon at boot time for both TMON and Programmer's key is called ShowINIT and is in the public domain and available from Paul Mercer directly. If you'd like to use it in your INIT, please drop Paul a note." The above address/phone# is listed, and also Delphi: LOGICHACK AppleLink: D0131 MCI: SOL In case you don't know what Programmer's Key is, the INIT allows ADB keyboards to use the 'Power On' key (for the Mac II) with various cntl-shift-cmd-opt combinations to generate trap signals (like hitting the Programmer's switch), Restart and _ShutDown like the Finder, and Reboot (like the button). This works fine with both the SE and the II. I find it very useful and would post it, but it is presented as a bonus to TMON owners so I don't think it's publicly distributable. If anyone proves that different I'll be happy to post it (it's small, too). -cbb Chris "Johann" Borton, UC San Diego ...!sdcsvax!net1!borton borton@net1.ucsd.edu "Letztes Jahr in Deutschland, noch ein Jahr hier, en dan naar het Nederland!

I would like very much to be able to reset my SE from the keyboard, if possible. I have an extended keyboard (I don't know if that matters here) and the Reset key (i.e., the " <| " key) seems to be the only "functionless" key here. I have tried to read its event value (as a "modifier" or as a regular key) and have had no success. Please post or e-mail Programmer's Key and, if anybody has specific infor- mation as to how to trap the Reset/Power_On key, would they do the same? Thank you all in advance.

You can then "X" out the icons if you don't want them to be loaded at boot-up (either for this boot-up only or until you un-X them manually). A VERY nice INIT, in this age of prolific INITs.
