I read a posting in this group a while back in which the writer explained the magic words to cause the low-level rom monitor to enter the finder again after the interrupt button was pushed. Could someone send me that Info, I think it would be a marvelous thing to tape to my Mac. Thanks. -- Motorola Semiconductor Inc.

After entering the interrupt monitor (by pressing the interrupt pad on your CPU or pressing the interrupt key sequence on a IIsi or LC), type the magic words: G A9F4 This jumps the machine to the "ExitToShell" routine, which (if the machine's memory has not been corrupted too much) will force-load the Finder and pass control to it. << Brian >> | Brian S.

You may also try: g finder or g f6d840 there was another, that would exit back to the program, but using it was very risky. You would use it to save your work before reatarting your computer. +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | jtsweet@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | "I'll get all the rest I need when | +-------------------------------+-----+ I die." - Road House | | "Oh God, I'm so depressed" - Marvin +--------------------------------+ | "Fully functional..." - DATA | +-------------------------------------+ /s (whoops, too much BBSing...)

Close, but no cigar. _Much_ better would be to: SM 0 A9F4 G 0 This does what Brian says it should do, namely call the "ExitToShell" routine. A 'G A9F4' just starts the CPU running from that address (A9F4); this would probably work in most cases too, accomplishing the same thing as "the official way of doing it" as long as you're running MultiFinder, but for other reasons (like MultiFinders trapping of address errors :-). > << Brian >> | Christer Ericson Internet: christer@cs.umu.se | | Department of Computer Science, University of Umea, S-90187 UMEA, Sweden |

I personally prefer G EXITTOSHELL It works with and WITHOUT MacsBug (at least on my Mac+ and SE). Mike.

Various methods suggested for exiting to the finder: >+> SM 0 A9F4 >+> G 0 >+ >+PC 0 A9F4 >+G > >+SM FA700 A9F4 >+PC FA700 >+G >+ What about just typing "es" from Macsbug? It's always worked for me, although if Macsbug isn't installed for some reason I have to resort to one of the above methods.
