I recently found an INIT resource called CrashGuard by Raymond Lau that does
an Exit_to_Shell upon a crash. It seems to work well.

An alternative way is to type the following after hitting the interrupt switch:
	G 40F6D8

Another alternative is to use the shareware "RamDisk+" program. It's $10, but 
it gives you the option to automagically do an Exit_to_Shell if you hit the
interrupt switch after a bomb.
