BREAK ON

Unfortunetly, no.
BREAK is Off by default, turning it on makes it more
dangerous as you can halt a program in the middle
of writing to a file. (Then you'd have to run ScanDisk)

Are you saying that:

include machine.e
allow_break(0)

Doesn't keep your program from crashing?

I have found that using keyread.e's get_keys(), CTRL+C
doesn't crash the machine. David Cuny also has a solution
in his TextGUI.
