NOTE
If you want to set your computer to run at 9.54MHz every time
you turn on or reset the computer, insert a SPEED command in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See “Using an AUTOEXEC.BAT
File” in Chapter 3 or your MS-DOS reference manual for more
information.
Stopping a Command or Program
You may need to stop a command or program while it is run-
ning. To stop the operation of an MS-DOS command, hold
down
Ctrl
and press C or hold down
Ctrl
and press
Break.
Both
combinations send the ASCII code 03, which is known as the
Break signal, to the computer.
You can try the same approach to stop the operation of an
application program. If it the program does not stop, you may
need to reset the computer, as described in the next section.
Resetting the Computer
Occasionally, you may want to clear the computer’s current
settings or memory without turning it off. This is called
resetting the computer.
You may want to do this if an error occurs and the computer
does not respond to your commands. In this case, you can reset
the computer and try the same operation again. However, since
resetting erases all data in the computer’s internal memory
(RAM), you should reset your computer only as a last resort.
