This function is related to APM - I hadn't realised that this HAS been
implemented undfer Warp successfully as well ! We're talking ATX
board systems with APM. Perhaps I should try to configure APM
when I install Convienience Pack 2 (due out, I think in October)
and see if it works OK under OS/2 as well.

On the Win2000 PC, hit the power button and it does a clean
(quick) shutdown - I hope Warp does the same.

Cheers/2
