CTRL+BREAK Doesn't Break Program on Tandy 1000; Use CTRL+HOLD (21973)






This article was previously published under Q21973

SUMMARY

On a Tandy 1000, running a program from the QuickBasic editor, the CTRL+BREAK key sequence does not break execution of the program.

This is not a problem with QuickBasic but is rather a nonstandard keyboard sequence on the Tandy 1000. CTRL+HOLD should be used instead of CTRL+BREAK on a Tandy 1000. This also applies to the Tandy 1000 SX.

This information applies to the QB.EXE environment in Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 2.00, 2.01, 3.00, 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50 for MS-DOS, to QB.EXE in Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS, and to QBX.EXE in Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.
