Inline Electrical 'kill' switch? 900

What is the switch responsible for shutting down power to the battery? I believe that I have a short in the ignition (believe me, a Saint would find his Dark Side trying to figure out electrical problems) and in trying to trace the fault I notice that turning the Key (Starter) Switch to the 'III' position kills all current to the battery. What is responsible for killing power from the battery? From my experience in rewiring a 35 curcuit classic truck, I would expect to fry the battery cable when I turn the key if it shorts...I don't expect to lose all power. I've got the 40 dollar electrical service manual but I don't even know where to begin researching what has been happening. Please help me before I begin to transfer my long-standing frustration to my subordinates...I simply can't take this much longer.
