Could someone tell me if it is possible to reset the processor, i.e.
call the reset interrupt vector from my program.

I do not want to use the watchdog timer just yet.

Thanks in advance

You can call the interrupt vector, but it won't force a system reset,
ie
it will not return registers to their default states.

Writing an illegal value to the Watch Dog Timer register will cause a 
reset. Here is it in assembly.

    mov.w #01215h,&WDTCTL     ; force reset with bad write (should be 
5a) to wdt
