On occasion, while playing with new INITs etc or for whatever reason,
my Plus will lock up.  So, I reach for the big restart button on the
side.  You know, one of the two on the side of the machine.  What I'd
like to know is how to use the OTHER button.  

I know that pushing it gets me the window with a > in the upper left
corner and I know that there's SOMETHING I can type there to make the
finder or some other application active, but I don't know what that
something is.

I don't have any debuggers or any such toys, so if it isn't built in,
I can't use it (unless I can ftp it).  Anyone have a list of things I
can do from this window?

Thanks,
    -=< Greg >=-
