DOS Break

Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break are key commands that stop the current operation; however, certain functions such as disk I/O cannot normally be halted. Break is a CONFIG.SYS setting that tests the keyboard more frequently for Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break. To extend Ctrl-C checking, add the following to your CONFIG.SYS file:

          break=on

Note that applications can be programmed to ignore Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break regardless of the Break setting.
