The nearest equivalent in MacOSX is Command-Option-Escape, which brings up the force-quit dialog. I don't know how deep down in the system it's implemented. It's possible to use SetSystemUIMode to put an app into a "kiosk mode" where force-quitting is disabled, but I don't know whether the app can intercept Command-Option-Escape in that situation and do something else with it. -- Greg
