I read that MultiFinder tries to quit applications by finding a menu called "File" and an item called "Quit". As mentioned in a recent digest it is clear that this approach doesn't work on international programs. There is a simple solution that would require apple to slightly modify their MultiFinder code. MultiFinder would first look for a resource in the program. This resource would contain the name of the menu and menu item. I first thought that the menu ID and item number would be enough, but some programs keep making changes in their menus. (MacDraw for example) A really nice change would be to allow the user (or program) to change the way the program quits. I might want to save all files automatically in some programs and in others I might want to discard changes automatically. Juri Munkki jmunkki@santra.hut.fi P.S. I'm still waiting for someone to explain why MacsBug slows down the 68881. (Maybe someone even knows a fix.)
