Hmmm. That's interesting. Cmd-Cmd-* (remember, it's the * on the keypad) makes my  
system beep at me (the "error" beep). Cmd-Cmd-* on the old Mouse-X, on the other  
hand, makes X switch back to NeXTSTEP 2.1.

Perhaps your Mouse-X binaries were compiled with different hot keys than mine?

The hardware reset on a NeXT is Cmd-Alt *. 

Or perhaps you type with different fingers than the rest of us?

I don't intend to flame, but it's been a *very* long day, and it's nowhere over  
yet...
