- BREAK sets the specified attention flags in the <process> indicated. Use the
- STATUS command to display the current process numbers. C sets the Ctrl+C
- flag, D sets the Ctrl+D flag, and so on, ALL sets all the flags from Ctrl+C
- to Ctrl+F. By default, only the Ctrl+C flag is set.
-
- BREAK acts the same as selecting the relevant process by clicking in its
- window and pressing the appropriate Ctrl+key combinations.
-
- Ctrl+C is the default for sending a BREAK signal to halt a process. A process
- that has been aborted this way displays ***Break in the Shell window. Ctrl+D
- halts execution of a script file. The STATUS command displays the current
- process numbers. Ctrl+E is undefined.
-
- Ctrl+F is used by programs that open windows to activate their window and
- bring it to the front of all windows. Not all programs respond to Ctrl+F.
-
- Example 1:
-
- 1> BREAK 7
-
- sets the Ctrl+C attention flag of process 7. This is the same as selecting
- process 7 and pressing Ctrl+C.
-
- Example 2:
-
- 1> BREAK 5 D
-
- sets the Ctrl+D attention flag of process 5.
