SEN(D) CON: - Interrupting ADAM

If, for any reason, ADAM goes dead, try this command. It has a similar effect to Ctrl/Y or Ctrl/C on a VAX.

Parameters

CON: is a mandatory parameter. (It is the name of the ADAM terminal.)

Examples

SEND CON:

Notes

This command should only be used when there is no ADAM prompt. It can be issued at other times (eg to halt a command that is producing a lot of output) but only if the BREAK key is pressed and the Operating System's '*' prompt is obtained.

N.B. This command cannot be used to perform an orderly stop during either RUN or GLANCE.

Sometimes it is necessary to type an extra <c/r> to make the command work. On rarer occasions it may be necessary to issue the command more than once for it to take effect.
