This goes along with my previous posting regarding Ctl-C and
Ctl-Break.  I am trying to write a resident program that
would get control after a program terminates, before going
back to the DOS prompt.  I have been able to do this for
programs which terminate by issuing interrupts, such as
INT20h and INT21h func. 4Ch.  But none of these seem to catch
a program which terminates by pressing Control-Break.
For example, if a sample program issues a INT16h with AX=0,
which results in waiting for a key to be struck, if I press
Control-Break, the program terminates without, as far as I
can tell, and interrupt such as INT20h.

Does anyone know how to trap the above termination condition?

Thanks,
