Using NS3000/XL Network Services

BREAK 

Pressing BREAK while a remote command is being executed suspends
execution of the command and returns control to the environment from
which you issued the command.  For example, if you enter a command from a
remote prompt, and then press BREAK, the system will return your remote
prompt.  When an application program is suspended by BREAK, the system
will return the prompt that was last issued before the program was run.
For example (user input is underlined, and the local and remote prompts
are shown for clarity):

     0:REMOTE EDITOR 
        .
        .
     [BREAK] 

     :SHOWME 
     **returns to local prompt** 

or 

     :REMOTE 
     ENV1#EDITOR 
        .

     [BREAK] 
     :ENV1#SHOWME 
     **returns to remote prompt** 


NOTE The response of a remote system to a BREAK request may depend on the time required to transmit the BREAK.
