I'm looking for something (INIT?) that will make the interrupt key cause a jump to the finder, to get out of crashed programs. I have Bomb Shelter, that makes the bomb dialogue CONTINUE key work, but that's usu. of little help because continuing a crashing program usually doesn't work, and some crashes don't show bomb dialog. I also have RamDisk+ v2.08, which, when it creates the ramdisk, has the option to do what bomb shelter does and in addition to make the interrupt key function so that pressing it causes a jump to the finder. This is perfect-- can exit cleanly, avoid disk first aid problems, etc. But I don't want a ramdisk. I just want the interrupt key function. Anybody know how to get this? -Drew -- ---- Drew Wade drew@objy.com

Unplug your modem.
NB1: "G 0" only works if you do "sm 0 a9f4" first.
NB2: Type "G" if you want the application to continue.
NB3: After you do any of this, restart your Mac as soon as possible.

An additional note. I'm using a new IIsi, and I can't get into the debugger with the recommended key sequence (command-power). Is there a ROM debugger, and if there isn't, would someone be willing to write something to cause this interrupt to do an ExitToShell. RamDisk+ v2.08's feature outlined above doesn't even work.

There is a ROM debugger. If you have PKey INIT installed, Cmd-Power works. However, I used to use that in conjunction with CrashSaver to quit applications that hang (typically my own) but CrashSaver doesn't work with my IIsi, and neither does BombShelter. Yes, if someone would write a new CrashSaver/BombShelter (possibly as a minimal debugger doing ExitToShell?) it would be great. The feature will be built into system 7, though (I hope). -- Ingemar Ragnemalm Dept. of Electrical Engineering ...!uunet!mcvax!enea!rainier!ingemar ..
