                                   BREAK
 
Sets or clears extended CTRL+C checking. You can use this command at the
command prompt or in your CONFIG.SYS file.
 
You can press CTRL+C to stop a program or an activity (file sorting, for
example). Typically, MS-DOS checks for CTRL+C only while it reads from the
keyboard or writes to the screen or a printer. If you set BREAK to ON, you
extend CTRL+C checking to other functions, such as disk read and write
operations.
 
Syntax
 
    BREAK [ON|OFF]
 
To display the current BREAK setting, use the following syntax:
 
    BREAK
 
In your CONFIG.SYS file, use the following syntax:
 
    BREAK=ON|OFF
 
Parameter
 
ON|OFF
    Turns extended CTRL+C checking on or off.
