Is there anyway of intercepting the RiscOs 3.1 Desktop shutdown mechanism? I need
to be able to do some processing before this is allowed to continue.

In addition to this, I need to be able to distinguish between this and Exiting
the desktop (ie. closing down the desktop is not the same as starting the
shutdown procedure). Does anyone know the actual operations performed by
shutdown. Ideally, I'd like to replace it completely.

Many Thanks,

Jason O'Broin
