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 ..
