Hi Ivan,

 IJ> How do I detect that the user has selected to shut down OS/2 ?

     while (TRUE)
          {
          while (WinGetMsg (hab, &qmsg, NULLHANDLE, 0, 0))
               WinDispatchMsg (hab, &qmsg) ;

          if (MBID_OK == WinMessageBox (HWND_DESKTOP, hwndClient,
                                        "Really want to end program?",
                                        szClientClass, 0,
                                        MB_OKCANCEL | MB_QUERY))
               break ;

          WinCancelShutdown (hmq, FALSE) ;
          }
