Question

I would be grateful if you give an example.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Goes back to the first computers IBM XT/AT machines, way before windows and at the beginning of what is now DOS ( Not even talking MS-DOS here, had PC-DOS loaded on mine.) SysRQ was bascially like the Contorl+Alt+Del combo you get from windows, gave you a chance to stop runaway operations but the ones which weren't really programs usually but direct functions you programmed.

Used Break also as a solution to stop run away programs, was using BasicA at the time. Also works in standard DOS scripts when you have a loopback and want to stop the program if it is not responding.

Only time I use INS, is just to insert code into lines. May have other uses, but none that I've used.

Answer 3

i can give you an example of the pause break key. it is used during test run of a program. if you find an error and you are in a loop thn this key with control key. Ins key basically has a defined function, when you are typing in ms word, just type one line and thn go back to the begining of the line and press the ins key and just type once again what happens is it will start to overwrite the existing statement. this is the function which is given.

Answer 4

These keys are still used by a number of apps. like database, they also still do other things like capture screen (desktop). They come from a long time ago when you possibly were not even born!

It was well before windows, and even before MS-DOS, but they still look ok don't they? what the hell grab your keyboard and rip them out then throw your keyboard in a gas oven for 1 hour on top heat! That will teach them.

Answer 5

the SysRq key, is when you wants to print the screen that you open it now.
Ins, is when you use microsoft word.to insert a word or something else.
Break, don't know.
