I have finally found some time to play around with passing messages
through the message ports.  While playing with a program that was incorrectly
written, the program went off into WaitPort-Land and never returned.  I tried
to break out of it from another CLI, but that was unsuccessful.  So I got
to wondering, what is it that break sends to a process/task or whatever?
Where does it send it?  Is it a signal or a message? I would guess that it
is a signal.  What must I do to compile in the signal handling necessary
to capture ^C and the like?  How could this be done with messages?

Well, lots of questions, Any answers?  Also would the RKM answer these
types of questions?
