About

powerOffKey is an XCMD that can be used to disable or enable the "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" dialog that comes up under System 7.5 when the power key is pressed. Why? Because there are certain situations under which it is a Bad Thing for the user to be able to shut down the computer while in the middle of a stack. Unfortunately, Apple didn't realize this until System 7.5.3 so this XCMD does indeeed require System 7.5.3, sorry. For more info: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/aimosaic/students/Psych-students/Byrne/SSL/
