Pressing [BREAK] while a remote command is being executed suspends execution of the command and returns control to the environment from which you issued the command. For example, if you enter a command from a remote prompt, and then press [BREAK], the system will return your remote prompt. When an application program is suspended by [BREAK], the system will return the prompt that was last issued before the program was run. For example (user input is bold, and the local and remote prompts are shown for clarity):

:REMOTE EDITOR
.
.
[BREAK]
:SHOWME **returns to local prompt**

or

:REMOTE
ENV1#EDITOR
.
[BREAK]
:ENV1#SHOWME **returns to remote prompt**
NOTE: The response of a remote system to a [BREAK] request may depend on the time required to transmit the [BREAK].
