This is an addendum to the READ.ME file for NOBRK.
NOBRK can be extremely useful for your menu system as it virtually guarantees
that users will not be able to break out of the menu system. Although DOSmenu
has built-in optional protection with the {r=nobreak} menu rights option, this
option also has one potentially unworkable side effect in that Netware's
search mapping commands used from within a batch file do not work (they also
do not work from a Windows DOS session). NOBRK takes care of that problem for
you.
The only thing to keep in mind when using NOBRK is that when ^C and ^Break
keystrokes are disabled with the NOBRK OFF command, they are completely
disabled not only in the batch file, but also for the application that is
running. This is usually not a problem because most programs do not use these
two keys for any type of user commands. But, of course, there are exceptions.
