Each program sets an intercept that catches the break key and terminates on break and goes to the next program until the loop is finished. When the loop exits and returns to the main window, all the "break" keys that were pressed in the other programs all echo to the main window. The screen redraws for each break key that was pressed for each of the programs that was run.

The OS-9 manual says an intercept routine prevents a process from terminating on 
a signal but you say you want the process to be killed. Do you also want the 
overlay windows to be removed? What happens if the forked programs do not have 
intercept routines?
