Hi,

You must use Break command in Config.sys file. The syntax is BREAK ON or BREAK OFF. This command controls the way you can use Ctrl+C combination to interrupt DOS programs. If Break is off DOS checks Ctrl+C only while it waits for keyboard input or makes output to the screen. If Break is on DOS checks Ctrl+C combination while performing other functions either. For more information type HELP at the DOS prompt and look for BREAK command.

Good luck, Igor
