Keyboard Aborts

One exception which is commonly encountered is that which results when a Control-C is entered on the terminal. This results in the exception CTRLC and may therefore be used to abort execution of a procedure and return ICL to direct mode. However, an exception handler for CTRLC may be added to a procedure to modify the behaviour when a control-C is typed.
