The way that works for me is to switch to Finder (while another app is
running in MultiFinder), hit the programmer's switch, and do an
ExitToShell() from MacsBug, i.e., type "es".  This usually works (fails if
you happen to catch the Mac while it is SystemTask()ing I guess), and
doesn't require compiling anything.  I guess it's kind of a hack, but hey.
