Is there a break key for Macterminal using the old keyboard with the 128k ROMs? I seem to remember someone mentioning that option- enter with the new keyboard would send a break, but this does not work with the old board. All I get is control-C. Do I just need the new keyboard? Any info is appreciated. Bob Suyehara

(control- space is a null, which is the same as a break, but shorter) If all else fails, get into emacs, give it the "describe key" command, and try 'em all.

Many Unix systems translate an incoming break into the interrupt character (apparently ^C in your case) when in cooked mode. In raw mode, you get a null (or perhaps several). There is no easy way for a user program to distinguish a break from legitimate character input. To answer your question directly - I use a terminal packet switch that requires <break> to enter its command mode. It works fine when I hit <enter> on my old keyboard on my 512e (new ROMs). -- =Spencer ({ihnp4,decvax}!utah-cs!thomas, thomas@utah-cs.ARPA)

I seem to remember someone mentioning that option- Answer: Break in MacTerminal using the old keyboard is the ~ (tilde) key in the upper left corner (w/o shift). Mark Pyfer ...ihnp4!twitch!mfp

My apologies, the previous posting about the break key in MacTerminal was wrong. The ~ key is escape, but the break key is control-| (where control is the odd cloverleaf shape on the Mac). Again do not use shift, even though | is selected using shift. I just cannot remember what the lowercase symbol on the | key is, and my Mac is at home! By the way, I just noticed that the MacPlus keyboard has no | on it! Does anyone know how to get a pipe in Unix (|) when using this keyboard? mfp
