This is one of the many nice things about Mac Kermit (version 0.9 (40)).  Go
to the "settings" menu, select "Set key macros", then pick *any* key and
hit it.  A dialog box will pop up: type "\break" or "\longbreak", hit
the "OK" button, and you now have a break key!  I use the "clear" key on
the Mac Plus keypad.

This function is especially nice with our DataDesk keyboard for quick and
painless use of all those function keys!  Make sure you remember to save
your new settings, though since Kermit *doesn't* remind you to do so when
you quit...(oh well, nothing's perfect :-)
