Can anybody help? First, you use the escape key to abort a command file. Secondly, there is a known bug in Procomm---anytime you hit the Ctrl-Break (not the Ctrl-C) under DOS 3.2 using Procomm 2.4.2, you'll hang the system. There was a patch floating around bulletin boards that would solve the problem. In the meantime, use the Ctrl-C combo instead.
