Use the CONT command to resume execution of a program stopped by a
Ctrl + C (page 10 -4), BRKPNT(page 10 -2), SNGLSTP (page
10 -20), or a STOP (page 11 -36). If you stop a program by pressing
Ctrl
+ C on the console device or by executing a STOP statement,
you can resume execution of the program by typing CONT . Between
stopping and re-starting the program you may display the values of
variables or change the values of variables. However, you cannot continue
if you modify the program during the STOP or after an error.
Important: Ctrl
+ C clears all input and output buffers.
