Well, I did this a year ago with ResEdit.
All is not roses, however. Sometimes the mac II misses keys or is
just slow, so I occasionally hit command-Q twice, and accidentally
turn off my computer.
Furthermore, I have soldered an outlet to my monitor cable to connect
to my modem. The other day I exited the telecomm program to free up
some memory, but I hit command-Q twice by mistake and turned off the
computer AND zapped my modem connection to a BBS.
A beginner would scream bloody murder about this; I simply curse and
tell myself to be more careful. I understand why Apple hasn't added
command-Q = shutdown to the finder menu. It's dangerous.
