Well, to continue off topic: There is yet a n o t h e r trick to make the SysReq line do interesting things. I thought it was Bob Cozzi who came up with it. It involves creating a temporary message queue object in QTemp and then send a message to that queue via the SysReq line with option 5 and using the temporary queue name. The message you send to the queue is then interpreted, via a break program, as a command. You can basically make it do anything you want, according to the logic of the message queue break program. I am surprised that Bob wrote a hook into the SEPT to accomplish similar tricks. Of course, I never heard of the SEPT until I read Leif's book. Anyway, Steven, if you want details on the message queue trick, feel free to contact me off list. The other tricks I had never heard of. Anyway, these things are still useful, although of course not essential.
