A Brief Guide to the Keystrokes

The chart on the inside front cover says that the ESC key "stops the
compiler and linker from continuing." ESC stops the compiler but NOT
the linker. Press CTRL+BREAK to stop both the compiler and the linker.

If you are using the debugger and running a program that expects
keyboard input, pressing either CTRL+C or CTRL+BREAK and then ENTER
allows you to exit.
