Sometimes when I am in multifinder and I hava a program bomb, the
mouse stops moving.  I can press the button and than will work, highlighting
an icon, etc.  But the pointer will not change position.  This has happened 
both when running someone else's programs and when I am working on programs of 
my own that I am debugging.  

After this happens, the only way I can get the mac to do anything is pressing
the restart button.  I don't like to do this.  I was wondering if there was
a fkey, or how one would create one, which would restart the mac nicely, so it
would save all the changes to the desktop, etc?  How else could this be done?

Thanks
