Reality Break Character (Host) (RealityBreakCharacter.htm)
It is possible to define a standard keyboard character which will be interpreted by Reality as the BREAK key.
Note: This is not normally necessary. Do not use this facility unless you need to.
If necessary, this is done by setting the REALBREAK environment variable which takes the following formats:
SET REALBREAK="x"sets x as the BREAK key.
SET REALBREAK="^x"sets CTRL+x as the BREAK key (the caret character,^, must be typed to represent the CTRL key).
For example, SET REALBREAK="^a" sets CTRL+A as the BREAK key.
SET REALBREAK="" disables the BREAK key. Note that this only disables the ability to interpret a standard keyboard character as the BREAK key - if the keyboard has a BREAK key, this will still function correctly.
The default, if REALBREAK does not exist, is CTRL+C.
Note: Quote delimiters are not normally necessary on UNIX.
REALBREAK is set in one of the following files:
/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
$HOME/.realityrc
%REALROOT%\files\realityrc
