Programmer's Switch

A button on the front of some {Apple Macintosh}

computers ({Centris} and above) which, when pressed, causes a

command line prompt to appear. This gives access to the

debugger, which by default has only one command:

G "Finder"

It is useful for getting out of system {crash}es, but you need

to install a more sophisticated {debugger} for inspecting

{breakpoint}s, etc.
