Control+C Bug info...

A still unsolved bug (as I recall) is the fact that ex.exe crashes when I
press control+pause or control+c and I know you are well aware of that.

Nevertheless, I came accros a file on my HD, called config.txt (in the
windows directory) which includes the following information:


--From windows\config.txt ----

BREAK
=====

This command sets or clears extended CTRL+C
checking. You can use this command at the
command prompt or in your CONFIG.SYS file.

You can press CTRL+C to stop a program or an
activity, such as file sorting. Typically, MS-DOS
checks for CTRL+C only while it reads from the
keyboard or writes to the screen or a printer. If
you set BREAK to ON, you extend CTRL+C checking to
other functions, such as disk read and write
operations.

Syntax

    BREAK [ON|OFF]

To display the current BREAK setting at the command
prompt, use the following syntax:

    BREAK

In your CONFIG.SYS file, use the following syntax:

    BREAK=ON|OFF

Parameter

ON|OFF
    Turns extended CTRL+C checking on or off.

----- end of qoute ----

Maybe this can lead to the answer ?
