                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

An example of the problem I assume?  It just happens at any time?

It sounds like a "feature" of the keyboard, perhaps a debugging
facility, that is never invoked on a Mac, but due to minor differences
in the way the IIgs reads the keyboard, it happens to invoke this
message from time to time.

If so, there isn't much you can do about it.  It is a pretty weird
thing to do, and I can't think of anything the IIgs would do at
irregular intervals that might cause this.
