That would be poor communication to the user. Quit and kill is very different and the user must be in controll over which to send. For example any unsaved data could be lost all of a sudden if the OS killa the program :/ And in the case were the proram is busy the user have the choise to wait it out until it gets responsive again. The issue at hand here is that the OS doesn't know if the process is temporarily unresponsive or have got stuck and need to be force quit. // John Stalberg_______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
