Re: <Ctrl-C> in the Console Window

I guess that Syd is suggesting a system-dependent key binding, aimed
at matching the system where it runs.

The problem is that Cygwin uses <Cntl-C> (Cygwin == Unix) and NT Command Prompt
windows use <Ctrl-Break>.   We wouldn't know which one to follow, neither would
the user.

But <Ctrl-Break> is one alternative to be a interrupt sequence that makes sense.
Maybe more sense than the <Ctrl-.> that Nicholas mentioned.

Does all the keyboards have a "Break" key or is it only the PC keyboard?
I haven't used other keyboards in a while.  Is it in the Sun keyboards?   On Mac?
