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 programs. If

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

to reset the computer, as described in the following section.

Caution

It is best not to turn off the computer to stop a program or
command. If you have created new data that you have not

yet stored, it will be erased if you turn off the computer. Your

computer stores data in its memory until you save it; but the

memory area is erased each time you turn off or reset the

computer.
