There's a bunch of menu items that you can activate. There's one for
the CD tray
( from <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75466> )
that allows you to open or close the optical drive tray, which may be
useful if you use a third-party keyboard and the F12 key does not open
the tray. To show this menu bar item, do the following:
1. Choose "Go to Folder" from the Finder's Go menu.
2. Type or paste: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras
3. In the Menu Extras folder, double-click "Eject.menu".

Hi all,
Our Server Mac has a mirror door (no button) and the keyboard is the
old
G3 green one. iTunes isn't installed so I can't think of a way to eject
the tray to put a disc in for loading.
I had a look a the Finder dictionary but the Eject command seems
specific
for pointing it at a disc to eject, not just eject the tray (like what
iTunes does).
Any suggestions on a short script app that can be written to eject the
tray? Shell script?
Cheers,
