RECOVERING FROM UNEXPECTED PROGRAM INTERRUPTION
In case of unexpected interruption due to hitting BREAK or a terminal

you take the following steps:
1. Perform a hard reset.
* On an HP 264X terminal, you press the RESET TERMINAL key
twice, and then press RETURN to display the colon prompt,
* On HP 262X, HP 239X, and HP 150 terminals, you press SHIFT
CONTROL RESET and then press RETURN to display the colon
prompt.
2. If echo is turned off, press ESCAPE, then press : to restore
echo.
3. Type RESUME and you should see the message READ PENDING.
4. Press REFRESH to return to the menu at which you were interrupted.

insure against damage to the file, reenter the information on all menus
pertaining to the form you were creating, modifying, or entering data at
the time of interruption.
If you were in the unformatted portion of a FORMSPEC Field Menu, the
procedure is slightly different, as follows:
