Ctrl-C can interrupt a longer runnning process, then after hitting 'd' it may be possible to enter debug mode (see also 'debug' in the manual).



The behaviiour of Ctrl-C and subsequent commands is different on different platforms and also depends on the state newLISP is in at that moment. E.g. certain processes cannot be interrupted.
