I think a couple of those don't apply to the PC, like Power off, or Shutdown to ROM. I think in some machine, you can literally power off the computer via a software command. Not on PCs yet. Hope this helps, not sure. . -- -- Robert aka Crimson Avenger (yee@rpi.edu or crimson_avenger@mts.rpi.edu) Once a hacker, always a hacker. (usere3jp@rpitsmts.bitnet)
