From: Don Johnson 

I have discovered some things that might be of interest.

	(1) Atkinson has yet another feature in MacPaint that I have not
	    seen on this medium: if you hold down the command key while
	    selecting the 'Quit' menu item, the disks will be ejected and
	    the Mac or Mac XL will reboot! Cute!

	(2) Some asked recently how to force a reboot from the floppy instead
	    of the internal disk on a Mac XL. While booting the MacWorks
	    disk, hold down the option key. You will see the microdiskette
	    icon instead of the 'happy Mac'; you then insert the floppy and
	    the Mac XL will boot from it. No 'Hard Disk' comes up though;
	    you probably have to run 'Hard Disk Install'.
