Programmer's Switch
<hardware> A button on the front of some Apple Macintosh computers which,
when pressed, causes a command line prompt to appear. This gives access to the
built-in mini-debugger, which has commands to dump memory, return to the
application that was broken out, and others. A more sophisticated debugger must
be installed in order to inspect breakpoints, etc.
