Where can I read more about this (if I press Control-C in the terminal):

Code: Select all

I get this prompt, but I can't do anything sensible:

Code: Select all

Ctrl-C can interrupt a longer runnning process, then after hitting 'd' it may be possible to enter debug mode (see also 'debug' in the manual).

The behaviiour of Ctrl-C and subsequent commands is different on different platforms and also depends on the state newLISP is in at that moment. E.g. certain processes cannot be interrupted.

Thanks. I saw (debug) and (trace), but couldn't make anything work after seeing the 0> prompt. Only another Ctrl-C and then exit or reset worked.
