NAME                                                   ONINTR(I)
     onintr - handle interrupts	in shell files

SYNOPSIS
     onintr [ label ]

DESCRIPTION
     The onintr	command	catches	 interrupts  received  while  the
     Shell  is	reading	 from  a  file.	 After the interrupt, and
     after any active process has completed, the Shell	procedure
     is	 transferred  to  the  label  specified.   Unless another
     onintr command is processed, the next  interrupt  will  kill
     the  Shell.   The	command	 without a label turns interrupts
     back on.  The special case	``onintr -'' causes interrupts to
     be	 totally  ignored, both	by the Shell itself and	by subse-
     quent commands invoked by the Shell.

     Onintr is executed	within the Shell.
