	Yes, I did it in the back seat of a car, twice in one night! :-) :-)

Ahem,

I just now trotted over to an SE  (I'm on my Mac II, now)  and tried it.  The
first time (Ah, that first time, you never forget ... ) it did what you
described, but when I pushed down the COMMAND-OPTION-SHIFT *BEFORE* opening
the Apple menu instead of after (which is what I did the first time) it worked.
It also works on the Mac II, but the keys can go down any time up until the
mouseUp (eek! HyperTalk) occurs on the Control Panel select.
