The alert should *only* be displayed when shutdown is initiated by 
Ctrl+Alt+Q/H. Isn't the purpose of this alert to avoid accidental shutdown?

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean here. shel_write(SHUTDOWN...) 
just tells XaAES to start a shutdown 
(http://toshyp.atari.org/de/008012.html#shel_write). I don't know how XaAES 
deals with this internally.
