The general platform independent solution would have been 'Crt.CheckBreak := false' (or System.SysSetCtrlBreakHandler without unit Crt should you not use/need that) - except for the fact that maintainers of most platforms (all those mentioned by you) decided not to implement/support this functionality and thus it would not work for those platforms you are interested in... :-/ Tomas _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
