PF>> Personally, I hope you can turn this off -- I think C-A-D _should_ PF>> reboot the computer, no questions asked. JG>I don't agree. C-A-D seems to be 'stronger' then Control-Escape. 5 JG>minutes before I wrote this message, Warp Connect crashed. I JG>couldn't even move my mouse. Pressing Control/Alt-Escape JG>didn't react. But pressing C-A-D did work! On a number of occasions I have had OS/2 crash in such a way that nothing but C-A-D would work (result of buggy 3com 3c5x9 device driver I think). But C-A-D did not do start the OS/2 reboot sequence (kill all programs, flush all caches, make filing system read-only, then reboot). It just rebooted and then had to run CHKDSK (which was a major PITA as this only occurred on the file server and everyone on the net sat and watched me while the file server ran CHKDSK). I believe that in this case the system was going out of protected mode and letting the BIOS handle the C-A-D (I can't think of any other explanation). cya ___ X MR/2 2.0 NR X OS/2: Your brain.
