Is this documented? How on earth did you figure it out?

Freevt3k's default BREAK (<ctrl-@) actually works exactly as the BREAK key is
expected. That removes one piece of ignorance on my part.
I did uncover an anomaly when another character is passed as the BREAK
character via the freevt3k command line -C option.
An example:
/usr/local/bin/freevt3k -C 120 -vt100 192.168.102 # decimal 120 = f9

The problem is that while the HP3000 session reports it is in BREAK the program
QEDIT continues to run. UNLESS I also type EX, which returns a colon prompt
(:) and is evidently a BREAK session.

There is one other quirk to this. Once one BREAKs out of a program using the
combination of f9 followed by EX then the X key is no longer recognized, even
following an ABORT or RESUME.

Today's Hint. Use :While and :Endwhile commands to create program loops in UDCs
and command files. They can be nested like the If command.

As I wrote above, the default key combination <ctrl>-@ (<ctrl>-<shift>-2) works
as a BREAK key without apparent side effects. A custom BREAK key character
seems to have some implementation problems.
Another tidbit for my store of HP3000 trivia.
