Are you asking how to use the interrupt switch to get back to the Finder? Or
are you just trying to get out of the mini-debugger? I'll answer both 
questions for you:

1) to get back to the Finder:
SM 0 A9 F4 <return>
G 0 <return>

2) to continue with your current application, just type G <return>

What kind of StartupScreen are you using, a Paint-style bitmap or a PICT ID=0
resource? When I played around with StartupScreens on my II, I believe that 
I got a full-screen image (on my Apple 13" RGB - on a 19" Trinitron, I'd be
surprised). I don't use startupscreens due to too many INITs that call
InitWindows, and the fact that color startupscreens take up mucho RAM (or at
least they used to) that never got recoverd. If this has changed, I hope that
someone will correct me (too busy/lazy to try it right now :-)
