This worries me - that just because Windows does something different, now
it is a standard for all OSs to follow.  On my particular machine such a
feature will lead to grief as just about the only time I hit CAD is when my
video card/driver has locked up... in which case nothing on screen will do
a bit of good since I will never be able to see it.  I already sometimes
have to use CAD-CAD to get buffers flushed out, how many times would I have
to hit it after such a modification.  When I want a CAD shutdown it is not
negotiable, as the only reason I didn't use reset or CANL-CANL is that I
don't want to autocheck several gig.  CTL-ESC already does the same
function that this wonderous CAD does for Windows but doesn't do it by
redefining a basic keyboard function (though something fancier than 'This
program is not responding...' would do a world of good towards improving
the visual appeal of the OS).  Fixing the SIQ will help because then
CTL-ESC can do more than just state a program is not responding, it can
actually let you actively go and destroy the offender.  If such a feature
does come to be on OS/2 then I hope one of the first things I see in my
inbound is a replacement for it.
