How do you shut down the computer?!?!

I'm trying to do a program using borland pascal with objects version
7.
I would like to shut down the computer automatically using my program?
how do I do it? what command do I use to shut down the computer?
Please help!

A simple RESET will not do the job, correct? Then you need
some external hardware, a relay and some more components.
The relay can be driven by a printer-port bit, for example.

Well, some computers apparently have that hardware built-in. At
least Win95 switches them off automatically after shutdown.

Depends on the system.  Windows 98 on a new PC can shut the computer
down completely, as far as I can see - which implies the existence of
standard hardware and a standard means of calling it.  Maybe the answer
is in Ralf Brown's List.

Hi

You have to use the APM (Advanced Power
Management)- interface.
It is an api created by Microsoft and
Intel
You'll find the text of the standard on
