 HELP: How to terminate a GWBASIC program

I am using a GWBASIC program which is running in an endless loop. How can I
terminate this programm in the GWBASIC environment ? I tried CTRL+C, but without
success. Of course, CTRL+ALT+DEL and RESET are solutions, but very bad ones.

Has anybody an idea ?

Try CTRL-BREAK...BREAK in on the PAUSE key on 101-key keyboards.  If you only
have an 83/84-key keyboard, try CTRL-SCROLL LOCK.

Well... Then I have this problems, in any languages, I use(d) to put in a
line type :
Albert:
 Do whatever...

 if inkey$<>"" then goto end
goto albert

end:

Well, it was'nt any nice way to do it, but then i test my programs, it's
proberly a good thing to do. WAIT! Don't use Goto to much :)

put BREAK=ON or BREAK ON (something like that) in the config.sys file -  
makes the computer check for ctrl+c's more frequently (slows it down,  
tho).

Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break is your only choice, as far as I know. A simple
endless loop should stop then. If this doesn't work, you have a
different problem (locked up computer).
