Newby with a Ctrl-C problem

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Greetings Euphorians,

Please excuse me if I'm breaking any etiquette rules here ( can't get at
alt.lang.euphoria from behind our firewall and haven't had time to
plough through the archived material ) ...

I'm new to Euphoria - I was so impressed by what I saw when I discovered
the language I have decided to use it on my latest project, however, as
with all languages ( trying to run before I can walk ), I've hit a
problem ...

I *must* be able to trap and handle Ctrl-C within my application -

Using allow_break(TRUE) causes the app. to exit to MS-DOS as soon as
Ctrl-C appears.

Using allow_break(FALSE) prevents the exit to MS-DOS but get_key()
doesn't return anything so I can't tell that Ctrl-C has turned up and
handle it sad

Anyone got any suggestions / solutions ?

Many thanks in anticipation,

John Bown
