It is a custom app, along with the blank backdrop app, called "heap saver"
that was done by the company that created the custom software (NorthStar)
that some of these units from Gem and other places came with. It's a rather
convenient way of doing a soft reset on your 2100.
However, seeing that and the "heap saver" backdrop, it kind of makes one
wonder what this Northstar app was like, if you needed to both save heap and
reset so frequently. ;-)
