No default way that I'm aware of. If the OS version has Spotlight,
you can probably hit command-space to invoke it, then type "terminal"
followed by return to start the Terminal application.
Once the Terminal application is open, you can select it via
command-tab, then type command-N to open a new terminal window.

What is Spotlight and how would I know if OS 10.4 has it? Can I start
a browser the same way?

OS 4 has spotlight - a search app. But you can put Terminal and browsers in
the dock, and open them that way.

How do you access the 'dock' with the keyboard? I finally figured out that
Ctrl-F2 gets you the menu and you can arrow down a few times to Shut Down.
How do I access Spotlight with keyboard in the first place?
Today I had a fight with OS 9. Can't find any telnet program so I download
Nifty Telnet. In order to put on OS 10.3 we would have to disassemble the
Bondi Blue G3 233MHz and find two 64MB PC66 SODIMMs. Anyone have extras?
I don't want to use up our last two on a giveaway computer. 9.22 works with
iCab 3 or IE 5 and they give up on a lot of javascript. 10.3 will work with
Seamonkey 1.1, Firefox 2, iCab 4.8, Opera 9. 10.3 needs 128MB.

There is the Nifty Telnet-SSH client for OS-9.

That is what I downloaded (see #62). There is also a free virtual keyboard
for OS 9 (not OS 10, which comes with one that is not as good), and I put it
on a computer given to us with no keyboard, that went to kids for online
games.

Re resp:62 - "How do you access the 'dock' with the keyboard?"
Try Ctrl-F3. "How do I access Spotlight with keyboard...?" Cmd-Space.
(The David Pogue book I mentioned above has answers to these
questions and more, although it's specific to Snow Leopard, so
there are a number of things in it that won't work on 10.4.
An earlier edition specific to 10.4 probably exists.)

As of right now the AADL has two copies of Pogue's _Mac OS X, Tiger
Edition: The Missing Manual_ available at the downtown branch. Here is a
link:

I've found Pogue's books to be a great help.

I presume I can set up my own keyboard shortcuts somehow, such as Ctrl-F4 to
access a terminal window where I can type in the name of a program.

Apple is hosting a media event on Wednesday, October 20. Rumor has
it that it's to announce the next version of OS X (10.7) and that it
will be named "Lion".
