Not true! MacroMaker intercepts the shutdown request and will bring up its
own window, asking you to save the macro that is currently in the recorder.
After you do this, the actual shutdown is carried out.  On my machine that I
am using right now, I defined Command-Q to be the shutdown (much easier than
getting out ResEdit).
