There are three ways to accomplish a Force Quit in OS X. First is the Classic OS keyboard shortcut, command-option-escape. Second, you can select Force Quit from the Apple menu. Third, you can force a quit from the dock by clicking on the application's icon and holding. A pop-up menu will appear with a Quit option. Holding down the option key will change that to Force Quit.
All of these methods will result in bringing up the Force Quit Application window, where you can select the application you want to shut down.
