There is no BREAK key on the NeXT keyboard, nor it is it possible
to map a key to produce a "BREAK code"--BREAK is an "out-of-band"
signal that has no code value.  It's only needed when connected
to another system.  Every communication program seems to have a
different way to request it:

tip	~ #
kermit	CTRL-\ b

telnet  CTRL-] s e n d SP b r k CR

[ The cu on the NeXT is "fake"--the "real" one uses ~%b ]
