Say, *is* there  a way to generate a break character from the keyboard
without special bindings? The ol' vt100 trick of ctrl-shift-@ or space
doesn't do it nor is there a ``break'' key. Not having a break key  on
the keyboard (somewhere even if it requires a meta-key sequence) is  a
slight bummer (since many hosts use the spacing character as a flag to
switch baud rates when trying to establish communications).

If there is  no  way of sending a break key from the default keyboard,
creators of terminal or data  communications  programs should remember
to either provide sending break  as a  menu item or on a cuustom bound
key.
