Well, doing an NMI (non-maskable interrupt) is the least damaging, although
it may already be too late to get a perfect image, by the time you get the
message on your screen.

You can do an NMI by attaching a wire to the appropriate pin on one of
your slots, and momentarily touching it to the power supply (or any
other logical zero source).  If you aren't comfortable doing that,
don't bother.

Other than that, you can CALL-151 from Applesoft, or use the Visit Monitor
CDA if you're on a GS (you have to have installed it earlier, from the
monitor, by typing a "#"; or have set your ROM 3 Battery RAM bit to install
it automatically).
