On a Tandy 1000, running a program from the QuickBASIC editor, the
CTRL+BREAK key sequence does not break execution of the program.

This is not a problem with QuickBASIC but is rather a nonstandard
keyboard sequence on the Tandy 1000. CTRL+HOLD should be used instead
of CTRL+BREAK on a Tandy 1000. This also applies to the Tandy 1000 SX.

This information applies to the QB.EXE environment in Microsoft
QuickBASIC Versions 2.00, 2.01, 3.00, 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50 for
MS-DOS, to QB.EXE in Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b
for MS-DOS, and to QBX.EXE in Microsoft BASIC PDS Version 7.00 for
MS-DOS.
