Sure is, CTRL-OpenApple-RESET. That will get you out
of anything. (replace OpenApple with ClosedApple/Option instead to
access the self test on the IIe, c, and GS)

If she is looking at the Basic prompt ("]"), the she can type PR#6 to boot from
the system disk in drive 1, slot 6. (This is usually a 5.25" disk.) if she got
a UniDisk or some other 3.5" drive connected to a controller card in slot 5,
rather type PR#5.
PR# plus slot number initiates a boot sequence if there's a storage device
plugged into the slot in question.

If she's working in apps that do not let her quit to AppleSoft Basic, she might
give the Reset key a try. Some apps then reboot the computer. If, however, the
program breaks into the monitor (the prompt is a "*"), she can still type C600g
to boot from the device in slot 6. (Again, substitute the 6 with the slot
number of the startup device.) I believe there is also a control key for this
(Ctrl-P plus slot number or vice versa...), but that work equally well.

Control-OpenApple-Reset is the warm boot key sequence.
Using an off-on method can REEEEALLY wear out the switch and power supply.

I have a friend at work who has an Apple IIe.
Is there a way to boot the system with a key sequence like
on the IBM or is there a reset button.

She says she has to turn it off to do this.

I havent use the Apple since my school days. I cant remember
if there is a way or not.

thanks for any help that can be given.

It is a PR#6.

Try Open-apple+control+reset. That always works for me. }:)
