Run/Stop + Restore will break a BASIC program but it is not the
equivalant of a three fingered salute as it does not reset the
hardware. After you've issued a break and regained input control to
the BASIC interpreter you can initiate a soft reset by typing "SYS
64738" (without the quotes) and pressing RETURN. If you're just trying
to clear a BASIC program from memory you could type "NEW" and hit
RETURN. If you're running a machine langauge program (read most
commercial software) then you're probably out of luck. There is no way
to do a hard reset on a stock 64 other than cycling the power although
there are ways to add a reset button and some utility cartridges have
reset buttons.
