Description: CTRL+C Handler Address
The machine interrupt vector for Int 23H (memory locations 0000:008CH
though 0000:008FH) contains the address of the routine which receives
control when a CTRL+C is detected during any character I/O function and,
if the Break flag is ON, during most other MS-DOS function calls. The
address in this vector is also copied into locations 0EH through 11H of
the program segment prefix (PSP) when a program is loaded but before it
begins executing, and is restored from the PSP (in case it was modified
by the application) as part of MS-DOS's termination handling.
This interrupt should never be issued directly.
