I'm not sure what you can do if you are running in standard or real mode,
but if you are running in real or extended mode, Alt-Spacebar will bring
down the system menu.  Then select "t" for settings and Alt-T for Terminate.
A bit tedious, and it is recommended that you reboot after using this option.
This is documented on page 478 of my windows manual.
