Question:

How do I abort a compile that is in progress when using the

Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) environment?

Response:

Under MS-DOS (or the OS/2 3.x compatibility box), use CTRL+C to abort.

Under OS/2, use "Arg Meta Compile" to abort a compilation taking place

in the background.

The default keystrokes for Arg Meta Compile are ALT+A F9 CTRL+F3.

You can also create a macro and assign it to a key to abort the

compile process. Below is a sample macro that you could place in your

TOOLS.INI file under the [pwb] tag.

[pwb]

Abort:=Arg Meta Compile

Abort:Ctrl+F5

Note: In either OS/2 or MS-DOS, the ESC key will not abort a

compilation.
