Just a little off.  When the system bombs on me (not often, unlike the Mac), I
give this incantation from the Monitor:

300:20 0 BF 65 10 3 N 310:4 0 0 0 0 N 300G

This will dump you into the quit code.  If you put it in assembly language, it
looks like this:

MLI     EQU  $BF00      ;Entry to ProDOS MLI
        JSR  MLI        ;Call the MLI
        DFB  $65        ;QUIT
        DA   PARMS      ;Address of parameter table
PARMS   HEX  04         ;Parameter table for QUIT:  4 nulls
        HEX  00000000

(The above source will work for Big Mac or Merlin.  A different assembler will
take different pseudo-ops.  But you already knew that, right? :-) )
