I think the problem is that POSE can't really inject the "break" at any time, as the processor might not be running your code, but running a OS task in the background. Normally, it waits for detectable user events before trying to call things in the system. You could try to graffiti "shortcut dot dot 1", but that probably won't take. We actually tried to implement the "stop" button in the CW debugger, but the Palm OS debug protocol just didn't support any sort of "stop" operation on any of the devices we tried. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
