Yes, there absolutely, positively is a way. If you all remember Nibble
Magazine I wrote an article for it how to install a RESET trap. It didn't
disable RESET exactly, but what it DID do was cause it to behave similar to a
break key. It generated error "62" and could be trapped with ON ERR goto.
Nibble reprinted it in "More Apple Secrets"

If someone really needs it, I could be persuaded to fax it to them.
