ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-5
BREAK
Internal Command
The BREAK command expands the list of operations that can be stopped
by pressing Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break. Alternatively, returns to the default
setting of a limited number of break-able operations.
Syntax
BREAK [ON|OFF]
Remarks
In the normal default condition, the BREAK switch is off. In the off mode,
the stop commands, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Break, affect activities that read
from or write to the keyboard, the screen, or the printer. ROM-DOS does
not look for these stop commands during any other activities.
With the BREAK switch set to ON, ROM-DOS looks for Ctrl+C and
Ctrl+Break during activities such as disk reads and writes.
Examples
BREAK ON
Expands the BREAK list.
BREAK OFF
Returns to limited BREAK list.
