I have finally found some time to play around with passing messages through the message ports. While playing with a program that was incorrectly written, the program went off into WaitPort-Land and never returned. I tried to break out of it from another CLI, but that was unsuccessful. So I got to wondering, what is it that break sends to a process/task or whatever? Where does it send it? Is it a signal or a message? I would guess that it is a signal. What must I do to compile in the signal handling necessary to capture ^C and the like? How could this be done with messages? Well, lots of questions, Any answers? Also would the RKM answer these types of questions? Bill Murphy murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu
