CTRL-BREAK: Causes the current command or program to be terminated (broken).
To do this, hold down the CTRL key and then press the BREAK key. The BREAK key
has SCROLL LOCK on the top. When processing is terminated, control is returned
to you at the DOS level.
If you issue a CTRL-BREAK while a batch file is executing, the following message
will be displayed:
Terminate Batch Job (Y/N)?
To terminate the batch file, press Y and then RETURN. Press N and then RETURN
to continue execution.
On the Tandy 1000: Press the BREAK key (without CTRL) to break execution.
On the PCjr: Hold down FN and press the BREAK key to break execution.
WARNING: If you are running an application program, such as a word processor or
spreadsheet program, you should not perform a CTRL-BREAK. If this is done you
will lose any work that has not been saved on disk. However, if the application
is stuck and won't respond to your commands, you can usually rely on CTRL-BREAK
to terminate the application. If CTRL-BREAK won't work, try a System Reset
(CTRL-ALT-DEL). If that won't work, you will have to turn the computer's power
off and on to restart the system.
