Stopping a Command or Program

You may sometimes need to stop a command or program while

it is running. Many application programs provide a command

you can use to stop or even cancel (undo) an operation. If you
have entered an MS-DOS command that you want to stop, try

one of the following commands:

Hold down the Ctrl key and press C

Hold down the Ctrl key and press Break

These methods may also work in your application program.

If you cannot stop a particular operation, however, you may

need to reset the computer, as described in the following
