FIX: COMMAND+PERIOD During LPRINT May Hang Mac QuickBasic (39096)
This article was previously published under Q39096
SYMPTOMS
If you press COMMAND+PERIOD to break (stop) the program during the
execution of an LPRINT statement, the system can hang or give a System
Error.
The best workaround is to avoid pressing COMMAND+PERIOD during the
execution of an LPRINT. Alternatively, you may OPEN the device name
"LPT1:" or "LPT1:PROMPT" as #n and output using PRINT#n, which allows
you to abort printing with COMMAND+PERIOD.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in QuickBasic version
1.00 for the Macintosh . This problem is corrected in QuickBasic
version 1.00b for Macintosh .
