DQ (DEBUG_QUIT) -- Generate a quit fault in a process.
usage:  dq [-c | -s | -b]


FORMAT

  DQ [options]


  The  DQ command generates a quit fault, which normally interrupts execution of
  the current program and returns the process to the  calling  program  (usually
  the  Shell).  This command affects the process associated with the window that
  contains the cursor.   By  default,  CTRL/Q  invokes  DQ  without  options  to
  generate a normal quit fault in the program currently running.


OPTIONS

  If  no  options are specified, then DQ generates a normal quit fault and halts
  whatever program is currently running.

  -C nn              Generate an arbitrary asynchronous fault with the specified
                     hexadecimal status (nn).

  -S                  Stop  entire  process  in  a  controlled way, if possible.
                     Close open streams, files, pads, etc.  The  Shell's  parent
                     process is stopped and closed, too.

  -B                   Blast   process;   do   not  execute  further  user  mode
                     instructions.



  NOTE: If you are trying to stop a Shell's parent process (as opposed  to  some
        program  running  within a Shell), there is an easier method than typing
        DQ -S.  Position the cursor in the  Shell's  process  input  window  and
        issue  an  EEF (END_OF_FILE) command (by default, CTRL/Z).  This signals
        completion of input, and stops both the Shell and  the  process.    Type
        HELP EEF for more information.
