Re: [G] Command prompt in Mac OS 9

[Jesse Stanford]

Command-power invokes the debugger, if present.  Macsbug is a free d/l 
from apple if you get it.  I used to use the debugger as a way of 
getting out of system crashes and bugs, it's worked great for me back 
when I used OS 9 (email me off list for info)
Either way, with OR WITHOUT a debugger present, simply type 'G' 
(without the single quotation marks) and it should go away.

I believe what you're getting is the debugger (with older Macs, you'd 
get there via the 'programmer's switch'). You need to be running a 
debugger command interpreter to do anything at the prompt. The only 
one I'm aware of is MacsBug, which runs as a system extension. It 
should still be available as a free d/l from Apple.

If you press the command and power button at the same time, you are

but when I hit return it only erases what I have wrote.  Is there any 
way in
which I can use this prompt?
