I am new to Macs and am very very impressed with my Macbook.
However, I have encountered a problem. A program called stuffit failed to run properly so I took the cancel option. It has now hung and wont close down- continually promising that it is doing so. When I try to reboot the Mac is says that stuffit expander has cancelled a restart. Is there an equivalent in the windows alt-control-delete which will force stuffit to close? I have tried shift-command-Q and shift-Option-command-Q but neither will work. Any help would be appreciated. Paul

Paul command-option-esc will bring up a task list that you may be able to quit from there. also holding the power button for 5 sec. will shut it down. -------------------- |
