I am trying to get into the debugger in a program by typing the break key using <ctrl-c>, but all it does is print ^C.  I did BREAK ON before running the program.

Is there a different key that needs to be used or how do I break to get into the debugger?

Troy,

Have you tried running PTERM DISPLAY to verify the break, susp, etc keys?

Try Ctrl-Z.  What I usually do is put a DEBUG statement into the source at the point of interest.

You might also want to check your VOC's INTR.KEY, QUIT.KEY, SUSP.KEY entries to verify what's allowed.

As a follow up, I did PTERM  DISPLAY and the relevant data says INTR = OFF and BREAK = INTR.  I reviewed the PTERM documentation and did INTR ON and now that INTR=DEL, but the delete key is printing ^[W.

New suggestions?

PTERM SUSP ^C or something like that (whatever you want).

Sorry, should have said PTERM INTR ^C (by pressing ctrl-c)
