As the subject line says, I'm looking for two HyperCard XCMD/XCFN's.

First, I would like to be able to eject the disk in the first floppy
drive from within HyperCard -- I don't want the users to need to know
about Command-Shift-1.  (Or is it Command-Option-1?  I can't seem to
remember when I'm not at a Mac keyboard...)

Second, the Mac being used is dedicated to the HyperCard application I
have written.  I would like to be able to shutdown the Mac from within
HyperCard.  I don't even know if this is a realistic request -- I am
admittedly not a Mac programmer, so I don't know if this shutdown
procedure can be initiated from within an application or if it is
implemented in the Finder.

If anyone has these XCMD/XCFN's, or could point me in the right
direction, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.
