- I don't see why you wouldn't just get in the habit of C-A-D and forget
- about those other programs. I suspect that all they do is call DosShutDown,
- which is exactly what C-A-D does.
-
- Unless those programs also call WinShutDown (which sends the "Save your
- state" messages to the PM apps). It could be quite useful to have this
- happen even though you don't run WPS.
-
- I speculate that WPS shutdown just calls WinShutDown (triggering WPS save,
- since WPS is really just another PM app) and then DosShutDown.
