If you are going to make the shortcuts configurable, you should rather do it the other way around, changing the menu entries accordingly. Allowing the user to change the RSC and then expect the desktop to make up correct translations to keyboard shortcuts is asking for trouble. I once made the mistake to add code to ORCS to check for duplicate shortcuts, you won't believe what kind of strings are used for some keys in some programs (e.g "Ret." "Return", "Ent", "Enter", and that in all combinations of upper and lowercase)

I think that the easiest way of handling the Shutdown item is to disable it 
(grey it out) when it's inappropriate, rather than try to remove it.  No point 
in making the code more complex than it needs to be.  Don't forget to ignore 
the ctl-Q in hndl_keybd() as well.

BTW, that whole keyboard handling thing in the desktop needs a rewrite so that 
it does a lookup in the menu tree for the matching key ... but that's another 
project (along with the ability for the user to assign shortcuts, like TOS3 or 
TOS4).
