I need to know how to activate a true break key (not contol-c) in Red Ryder, White Knight, macTerminal, Microphone, Versaterm. Glossbresser's book on P.C. communications says "A true BREAK signal is not an ASCII code. It is a sustained high signal--also called a space or a logical 0--lasting between 200 and 600 millioseconds." I would appreciate a mail response so Ican help the person who asked this question. thanks very much in advance. Steve Cisler sac@apple.com

A true break on RedRyder is activated by Shift-Delete (or shift-backs space, as it is known on the older keyboards.) It seems to work for other terminal programs, too. (I think it even works for Telnet.) Ian Chai chai@cs.ukans.edu 2fntnougat@ukanvax.bitnet

In MacTerminal, use option-Enter (that's the Enter key on the numeric keypad, or the Keypad menu). David Gutierrez drg@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu "Only fools are positive." - Moe Howard
