View Ref-File12.1.8  The shutdown process in MagiC Mac                          TOS

Under MagiC Mac the shutdown process will be taken on by the program 
'shutdown.prg'; if this was able to terminate all currently active 
(Atari) programs, then MagiC Mac itself will be terminated as well. 
Some programmers might find it of interest how one can terminate MagiC 
Mac without a query. This can be done in two steps:

   . Switch to the Macintosh-mode (with modeMac)
   . Execute the Mac routine ExitToShell.

In Pure-C this could look as follows, for instance:

  static pascal void ExitToShell (void) 0xA9F4;
  MgMcCookie *mgmc;
  ...
  ...
  get_cookie ("MgMc", &mgmc); /* Pointer to MgMc cookie structure    */
  mgmc->modeMac ();           /* Switch to Mac-mode                  */
  ExitToShell ();             /* Terminates MM at once without query */

This information could be important if you want to program your own 
shutdown.prg.
