Using the keyboard mapping function, you can configure a key to send a BREAK signal. By default, this is mapped to ^B in TERM for DOS or UNIX. You can change that with the SETKEY script command. For example, to set F10 as the BREAK key, the command is:

setkey f10 break

In TinyTERM for Windows, open the keyboard mapper and click the Chart button to open the TCS Chart. Click the F button there to bring up the function list. With the mouse pointer drag the word BREAK from the chart and drop it on the key you want to use.

Some releases of TinyTERM 4.x ignore the BREAK command from the chart. When this happens, click on the key in the keyboard mapper you want to use. Change the Action drop-down to COMMAND. In the Value field, type:

te.break();

Click the Set button to finalize the mapping.
