After entering the interrupt monitor (by pressing the interrupt pad on
your CPU or pressing the interrupt key sequence on a IIsi or LC), type
the magic words:

	G A9F4

This jumps the machine to the "ExitToShell" routine, which (if the
machine's memory has not been corrupted too much) will force-load the
Finder and pass control to it.
