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?
