Breaking execution of code, Shurley?

D BREAK - CONT repeats

Edit: Yes, it's a speccy. No, I don't know the BBC version. Magic Mushrooms was fun.

Not the command
The button.

But thanks anyway.

The Spectrum has a BREAK button, too
Most useful when your BASIC programs end up infinitely looping.

ZX48?

All of them.
I still have a '+2',
which I bought after my 48k died :(
( Red wine and cheese., Wed 3 Aug 2005, 19:30, archived)

Yay!
I remember playing 'Slippery Sid'.

I graduated on to a Commodore 16 after the ZX48.

I must still have it somewhere, but to be honest it was shite.

Wouldn't
it have to be renamed the B*C micro though, what with the Beeb not being able to actually broadcast anything much (other than seed I suppose)
