I think you mean cmd-opt-esc (no ctrl)... Yes, I can get it to quit this
way after a few tries, but there's no way to control what quits and
sometimes I kill WebStar in the process. The main reason I don't do this is
fear of leaving something in a corrupted state. The CGI did abend after
all. Rebooting seems to be the safest course of action. I haven't had this
problem since I removed the MacPerl::Quit statements in all my
CGIs/droplets on that machine. The few scripts I really wanted to quit I
made into stand-alone apps. That seemed to do the trick for me.

Thanks, RR
