control-c checking
Break
Purpose:
Sets control-c check.
Syntax:
break [ON]
or
break [OFF]
Comments:
Depending on the program you are running, you may use
control-c to stop an activity (for example, to stop sorting a file).
Normally, msdos checks to see whether you press control-c
while it is reading from the keyboard or writing to the screen or
printer. If you set break to ON, you extend control-c checking
to other functions such as disk reads and writes.
Examples:
To check for control-c only during screen, keyboard, and printer
reads and writes, type the following:
break off
To find out how break is currently set, type the break command
and press the return key.
Note Some programs may set themselves to respond to
control-c at any time. Setting break does not affect these
programs.
