This short program disables the command line and taskwindow options that are accessed through F12 and ^F12 respectivly, it also disables the '*Commands' and 'Task window' options from the taskmanager's menu.

To activate the patch just double click on the 'LimitF12' basic program. Once installed it is not possible to remove this patch from memory without resetting the computer. This is because it is designed to be as small and compact as possible. If you wish I could write it into a module which would mean that it could be killed, although I see little point as the patch would usually be in effect for a whole session anyway.
I suggest you include this program in your boot sequencem, either by copying it to your library directory, and adding the line 'LimitF12' to your boot file or by adding a line such as 'Run ANYFS::4.$.ADir.LimitF12' instead.
Risc PC/A700 owners should put it in !Boot.Choices.PreDesk
