Exiting, Interrupting, and Aborting the Software
Exiting PV-WAVE
Entering an EXIT or QUIT command at the WAVE> prompt causes PV-WAVE to exit unconditionally, and you are returned to the operating system prompt.
 
note
When you exit unconditionally, variable assignments are lost; however, data that is buffered for open output files is flushed to these files before exiting is complete. Customizations you make to PV-WAVE, such as changing the font used in the windows, or enabling MDI graphics, are saved in the file WAVE.INI and are restored the next time you start the software.
Interrupting or Aborting PV-WAVE
This section describes individual characters that can be entered in conjunction with the <Control> key to interrupt or stop PV-WAVE. These characters are summarized in Control Characters Used for Interrupting or Stopping PV-WAVE.
 
Table 1-2: Control Characters Used for Interrupting or Stopping PV-WAVE  
Character
Action
<Control>-C
Keyboard interrupt; enter .CON to continue.
<Control>-D
(UNIX) Signifies EOF; causes PV‑WAVE to exit.
<Control>-Break
(Windows) Abort.
<Control>-Z
(UNIX) Suspends the process.
For Microsoft Windows
The control characters listed in Control Characters Used for Interrupting or Stopping PV-WAVE are only recognized in the Console window and will not work in the Home window. Control characters are not recognized in any auxiliary windows, such as graphics windows. (Exception: <Control>-C is a standard Windows accelerator, so it is recognized in any window where a Copy to Clipboard operation is meaningful.)
