Chapter 6 / Command Reference
BREAK Internal
BREAK switch
Turns the [CTRL I [TI check on or off or displays the current set-
ting.
The BREAK command affects only application programs. It
has no affect at the MS-DOS command level or to BASIC
programs.
Parameters
switch can be ON or OFF.
ON tells MS-DOS to check for
I CTRL I [TI from the keyboard
whenever
an application program makes any type of MS-
DOS function call.
OFF tells MS-DOS to check for a ! CTRL I [TI only when a
screen, keyboard,
printer, or serial port function call is
made.
If you omit both ON and OFF, MS-DOS displays the current set-
ting of BREAK.
Examples
b rEa k 0 ff I ENTER I
turns off the MS-DOS [CTRL I [TI check. Use this command before
running an application program that uses the [CRTL] mfunction
key.
Pressing I CTRL I [TI will affect your program instead of the
operating system.
b rEa k 0 n I ENTER I
turns the [CTRL I [TI check on. Use this command after you have
finished
running your application program and are planning to
use MS-DOS.
b rEa k [ENTER I
