RE: Suspending/shutting down the iPaq form Intimate

The power management is the same as with Familiar... i.e. the power button
in the top right hand corner puts the iPAQ to sleep. (Sleep kills serial and
usb connections at the moment), but everything else should work on wakeup.

Subject: [Intimate] Suspending/shutting down the iPaq form Intimate

Greetings all...

I just finished isntalling Intimate last night, and since it was late, only
got to play with it for a few minutes. Being completely new to Intimate (and
still fairly new to Familiar), I apologize if I ask a question whose answer
is obvious to everyone else...

After having completed the installation last night, I tried to shut down
and/or suspend the iPaq. shutdown didn't work (I didn't spend any time
poking around the filesystem looking for it), so I pressed the iPaq's on/off
switch (at the top of the unit), and sure enough, the screen went dark. When
I pressed the on/off switch again, the screen lit up, and looked just like
it did before. The only problem is that when I tried to open an X terminal
window, or the on-screen keyboard, nothing happened. What I'd therefore like
to know is:

- Is this normal? What do I need to do to get the iPaq to open these
applications/respond (and if I can't get it to respond, what can I do to get
the iPaq back into a more responsive state without breaking anything)?
- How can I safely suspend the unit from Intimate?
- How can I safely shut down the unit from Intimate?

Any information about the questions above would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers...
