Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

G'Day All

I have an E64 running some code which is started by OPTION AUTORUN ON.
It works very well.
My problem is, how do I stop it?
I know, I'm an old bloke and should give up trying.

Thanks. I'm sure I have used that in the past but one does forget these things.

If you also want to prevent the program from running at startup, enter OPTION AUTORUN OFF at the command-prompt, but you probably already knew that.  
Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

G'Day Grogster.

The problem with that is, how do I get to the command prompt when the thing is running.
Yes, I know, hit Ctrl + C.
A lot of this stuff is coming back to me after not using it for a while but it is slow but still fun.

Eh? Am I confused?
You can't have the command prompt while a program is running...
It can be either stopped at the command prompt or running, but not both.

You and I agree, correct?
