Press Control-Eject ... the *very* bottom left key and the *very* top 
right key. This will bring up a dialog box within which the default 
is shut down (return). Or you can press "escape" to cancel, "r" to 
restart or "s" to sleep. Nifty :)

Yes, this will shut down and start the computer. However it's a force 
quit that's virtually guaranteed to corrupt files, whether you're 
using OS 9 or 10. Not the best way. If you must do this, you'll also 
want to run DFA for OS9 or fsck for OS 10 to fix what you did.

Agreed!
