Everyone knows about option-return to go from icons to userid/password, right?
Just like using >console in the userid field to get login failure messages instead of just
shaking boxes, right? (Don't do that on a remote machine though.)

mentions you can also do >sleep >shutdown and >restart if you can't mouse to those buttons.
If you've got them hidden, these won't work either so you'll have to use ARD UNIX instead.
Apparently control-F7 will allow you to refocus to the userid/password fields if something like a
dialog box stole the focus.
