Yes, I usually do this, but it's not a lot of help when the machine
locks up!
Colin's suggestions are helpful, I'd forgotten the command. As to lock
ups. It depends, if one app is hogging polling, then ISTR they
introduced a keypress (Alt + break?) to get out of it.
If the whole machine is stiffed, that is more difficult.
Usually bugs can be found. But at the moment, I'm thinking, what
machine, which version of RISC OS, what else is running [1].
The worst scenario, is that OP damages the insides of RISC OS in a
random way and then other things crash. Has anyone produced something to
temporarily protect the RISC OS memory area.
I was wistfully speculating what the originators of RISC OS might have
produced by now if they'd been allowed to continue - one thing an
operating system that could not be stiffed by rogue applications...
[1] definitely nothing that requires address alignment exceptions
turning off.
