The terminal command is supposed to activate a special Debug menu at the top of the screen along with all the standard windows like Edit , Store , Window , and Help. First of all, after sending the terminal command, you must restart the AppStore app for the menu to appear. Then in the Debug menu is an option for Reset Application.

In retrospect this makes sense, but I figured it was a global setting and was issuing the command as sudo I always work on my machine as a limited user.

It turns out this is a per-user application setting, so I just needed to issue the command as my limited user in order to get the menu to show up.
