Phil -

You can to a few things:

1) Use the SHELL command to invoke a TMODE QUIT=0 ABORT=0

2) Better but harder, use the SYSCALL subroutines to do
   an i$getstt of the path's options (SS.OPT), modify the
   affected bytes, and then set 'em back in place with a
   i$setstt command

3) Use ON ERROR routines to trap the key

Note that while in the interpretive (non packed) mode, the break key is always
enabled as a means of debugging the program, or stopping a runaway routine.
