     The ON key is right there on the keyboard.  It is the key labeled with
a triangle (top center of the regular kbd, top right of the ext kbd).
But it only works with the Mac II, you press it and the power is up.
To shut off the Mac II, you select the 'Shut Down' command from the Special
menu and the Mac II will actually turn the power off for you.
