Hi Bo, You are probably referring to the instructions that came with the Tmote. This behavior is specific to their boomerang software and as far as I am aware there is no similar software in the standard distribution of TinyOS.
The reset button triggers a hardware reset of the mote, while the user button is simply connected to a digital I/O of the mote and can trigger an interrupt. If you want to program the behavior that you described you would need to check as soon as Boot.booted is called whether the user button is pressed. If this is the case, you would abort normal startup and make sure that all peripherals (including radio, sensors, flash and LEDs) are turned off, and then simply stop your application (TinyOS should then put the microcontroller into a sleep mode, which consumes extremely little power).
