     NAME
	  Break	- Send a signal	to a background	process.

     SYNOPSIS
	  Break	<task> <all> <c> <d> <e> <f>

     Description
	  Many programs	which run from the CLI will respond to the
	  typing of one	of the control characters C D E	or F.  By far
	  the most common is control-C which usually causes a process
	  to terminate.	 If you	execute	a task in the background (by
	  using	Run), you will not be able to send it a	break signal
	  from the keyboard, and that is where Break comes in.	Once
	  you know the task number of the process you wish to signal
	  (available immediately after you run the process or by using
	  the Status program), you can send one	of these control
	  signals to the background process.

     EXAMPLE
	  To send a control C to background process number 2:

	  Break	2 C or Break 2 (Break defaults to control C)

	  To send ALL control signals to background process number 3

	  Break	3 C D E	F or Break 3 ALL

     CONSIDERATIONS
	  Not all programs respond to break requests.
