Virtual Terminal

BREAK

Pressing [BREAK] while a remote command is being executed suspends

execution of the command and returns control to the environment from

which you issued the command. For example, if you enter a command

from a remote prompt, and then press

[BREAK], the system will return

your remote prompt. When an application program is suspended by

[BREAK], the system will return the prompt that was last issued before

the program was run. For example (user input is bold, and the local and

remote prompts are shown for clarity):

:REMOTE EDITOR

[BREAK]

:SHOWME **returns to local prompt**

:REMOTE

ENV1#EDITOR

[BREAK]

:ENV1#SHOWME **returns to remote prompt**

NOTE The response of a remote system to a [BREAK] request may depend on

the time required to transmit the [BREAK].
