What you need here is an INIT resource that installs the Exit_To_Shell patch.

I'll post two versions of this to net.sources.mac: 'Resume' just makes the
Resume button black, and works.  'Reg Error Box' gives a list of all the
register contents, as well as a 'Finder' button.  The Finder button works
like the 'Resume' button does.

Although I think they work the same way, I have both installed (otherwise the
Resume button on the Reg Error Box is gray) and have found a few cases where
one worked and the other didn't.  Since these situations are usually hard to
reproduce (:-)) I haven't determined once and for all whether there is a
difference.

To install these resources, use ResEd to open the file from the net, copy the
INIT resource in it, open your System file, and Paste.  You don't even have
to open the INITs in the System--ResEd is smart about this.

Hope this helps people--I have been using these for a long time and find them
very useful.  I got them originally from a San Diego BBS.
