I've wandered off the subject rather, but I thought people might be interested in this. >Date: Wed, 21 Jun 89 18:02:35 SET >From: Wilhelm Becker 0231/755-3677 <UPH008@EARN.DDOHRZ11> >Use the CP EXTERNAL command to generate an external interrupt.

To stop a program when in VM READ, I find it is better to put the cursor one place prior to the input area and press ENTER, and then enter HX. In my experience, using the CP EXTERNAL command to enter CMS DEBUG makes CMS DEBUG treat anything in the stack as a DEBUG command --- potentially very nasty. -- J. M. Hicks, (a.k.a.
