1. Allow_break
Hello everybody:
I'm trying to get my program to run. It started once, then hung up for no
particular reason. I couldn't restart it or do anything else without rebooting.
So I inserted a statement, 'allow_break(1)', so that I could stop the
program with a Ctrl-C. Now I get the error message, 'Allow_break has not
been declared'.
But this seems to be a legitimate statement in Euphoria. I don't have to
declare 'puts' or 'if...then' or 'get(0)'. Why should I have to declare
'allow_break' and what should I declare it as?

Might be an infinant loop... Look for one of those. (The exit condition
may not ever be met, or you have an exit that isn't be called, possibly.)

allow_break(1) is the default. If there is no input or output taking
place, then you won't be able to break out of the program.

include machine.e -- I think.... Look in LIBRARY.DOC to see what the
-- include file you need is...

Make that file.e, per 2.0 manual. Bye

Wally,
I see 11 other mails from the list, so someone undoubtedly has told you
this. But in case not:
allow_break is a library routine that is *NOT* built into the interpreter=
=2E =
It is one of the 72 routines that are in include files. (61 are built in=
).
In this case, add the following at the top of your program:
include file.e

Wally,
I think the solution to your problem,
lies in printing a few values to the
screen inside your main loop so you
can see what's going on. This will slow
it down considerably, but you can remove
them once you've got the bugs ironed out.
