Something handy

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi all,

One of the other lists to which I subscribe had the following hint  
that you may find useful in OSX.

I'm just wondering if everyone else is aware of something I find very  
handy. When an app  hangs, you can usually force quit by clicking and  
holding its icon in the dock... A menu will pop up offering "Force  
quit," and choosing it will do so without asking for confirmation or  
leaving behind a window you must dismiss. I find it much more  
convenient than cmd-opt-esc.

Also, the cmd-opt-esc may not apply to Rev; I've never tried either  
one. My thanks to Jay Reeve for his insight.

Cheers,

Joe Wilkins
