 RESET() 

          The ultimate in password protection, and possibly frustrating
          enough to prevent future attempts is a complete reset of the
          computer.  The RESET function provides an instantaneous reset of
          the computer.  The reset may either be a software reset or a full
          hardware reset.


      Format: 

               reset([.T. | .F.])


      Parameters: 

               .T.  .....Logical variable or constant which instructs the
                         function to perform a full hardware reset of the
                         computer.  A hardware reset is defined as a reset
                         which causes all hardware interrupts to be halted
                         and restarted by the regular BIOS routines.
                         Hardware reset may not prove functional on non-100%
                         compatible BIOS computers.  Hardware reset invokes
                         all BIOS manufacturer tests (i.e. RAM test).

               .F.  .....DEFAULT.  Logical variable or constant which
                         instructs the function to perform a standard
                         software reset.  This reset is similar in nature to
                         the CTRL ALT DEL key sequence.  If no parameter is
                         given to RESET then .F. is assumed.


      Examples: 

               1.   Perform a hardware reset of the computer.

                    .
                    .
                    .
                    reset(.t.)
                    .
                    .
                    .
               2.   Perform a software reset of the computer.

                    .
                    .
                    .
                    reset()
                    .
                    .
                    .


      Returns: 

               Nothing.


      Cautions: 

               This function will immediately halt all operation in the
               computer.  Due to this it is strongly suggested that no files
               or background operations (print queues) be active when RESET
               is invoked.
