I think he was looking for something less radical - just
password-protecting the screen, but without having to use the Apple menubar
special (see Ken Bereskin's Radio Weblog at
http://radio.weblogs.com/0100676/2002/10/01.html). That is, no mouse
movement necessary, just keyboarding.

tell kernel
panic
end tell
...nah, probably not a good idea.
