[Sunhelp] stop A on non-Sun keyboard

[Ayson, Alison {Info~Palo Alto}]

Frank,

I guess I'm just thinking of a situation where the system is hung for some
reason and I need to do a "stop-A" sync sync boot.

	Won't your machine just sit idle once you hit Stop-A? I mean, you
would
	lose all communication with it, and it won't reboot. Am I wrong?
Hitting
	Stop-A on my Ultra 5 does not reboot the machine, just halts it.
