If you're using Perl Builder, you should see the Debugger Status as RUNNING at the bottom of the screen if your script is still running. In the example given, you DO have to break out of the <STDIN> loop. Try entering a Ctrl-Z (Windows EOF) as the last character, and that should let you break out of it.

When I run the script, I get the initial sentence and enter my input in the I/O box, after that nothing happens. Either I can't seem to find the right combination to break out or the script is simply not running. Has anyone else who's used this book under similar circumstances come across this problem? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Mark (Climbing the learning curve!) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
