Peeps,

I am writing a TP6 program which requires the CTRL+BREAK sequence to be
disabled, as it loads in data tables and manipulates them in real time.
If CTRL+BREAK is pressed then the program bombs out and leaves the tables
in a real mess.

I've tried adding the line SetCBreak(FALSE) to the start of the main loop,
and indeed the status is changed, but I can still Break out of the program.

Can someone please help me before I pull my hair out?

Cheers,

Martin Bullivant (M.E.Bullivant@uk.ac.bradford)
