There was a demo-type program posted a long while back that when run, would
(kiddingly) put up a bomb box and wait for you to hit reset; then exit to
the finder.  While its up, standard command shift keys should work to dump it
into a MacPaint.  I'll rumage through my archives and see if I can find it
again, but if someone definitely has a handle on this toy, I suggest they
drop you a line.
