Just dug out one of the assembler PE programs I wrote (in 1993! Man, time moves on). It does just use the QPAC2 thing for this job, quite simple actually. However, and that's the unfortunate part, the name of the thing got actually translated. Back then my program did try both "Button_Schlaf" (German) and "button_sleep". I suspect there'll also be a French alternative. Most people however seem to use their own routines for putting jobs to sleep (i.e. don't rely on the thing). Thus I don't suspect there's any deep hack involved. I've never done this myself, though, maybe others can elaborate on this (Wolfgang?). > What other language-dependent bits are there in Qpac2? (eg "system asleep", > "button frame", etc) What's "system asleep"? The button frame is still called the same in German. Mostly the names of the different applications are translated, e.g. "Files" is "Dateien", "Channels" is "Kanäle" etc. > Is there any published info on these matters? No clue. Marcel
