that is fine-but when  a J  program is running  wild- how do I bring up
"break.bat"?  I would like to know how to do this, other than ctrl
alt-del  and then shut down J.

there is also a "break" utility (break.bat in windows) which will stop a
"runaway" program/function when executed..

Use dbstopme to stop at a specific line, see the example below. A
non-empty argument is a test, so stop if true.

Caution: if using 902 beta, get the latest beta and qt addon, as there
have been recent updates to debug.

I could have sworn that, a couple of months ago, someone posted some
code that included a "stop" command of some sort in explicit coding,
but I can't remember how it was done.  I cannot find such a command
anywhere in NuVoc.  Searching the wiki brought back the
"Vocabulary/JBreak" ancillary page, which referred only to the desktop
icon for basically stopping a "runaway" program.

What I'm looking for is a J command of some type (something like
"stop." or some synonym).  As I'm testing a program, I often want to
stop ever so often without executing the entire program.  "break." and
"end." obviously don't work, since J won't even load a program that
doesn't use those words correctly as part of a larger construction.

All I want to do is stop the program in the middle without using a
deliberate error (such as "13!:8 2") and without continuing to the end
of the program.  I would appreciate any help with this!
