	Hey folks, is there a way to disable the power key on a
NeXTCube?  Thanks in advance.

The command you are looking for is:
		dwrite PowerOffDisabled Yes
You will have to power off once before this takes effect.

Hmm, I think you need:
dwrite loginwindow PowerOffDisabled Yes

The first argument to dwrite is the 'program' that the default
belongs to .. in this case, 'loginwindow' (sort of a program, I
guess :-).
