Why "until a key is pressed"? That's an annoyingly non-portable construct. --Rdm 22:20, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I wrote the break key. Someone else wrote "until a key is pressed". The idea is that the process runs for infinity unless the process is terminated. I have reverted the wording to say "the break key".

Using a keyboard is non-portable? The break key is less portable. I changed it to any key to try to make it more general. Really it should just go forever if you want it to be portable. In general, portability is not necessarily a concern here I don't think. --Mwn3d 02:15, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree. There are computers without a keyboard, and special industrial keyboards with the break key removed. If there is no facility to terminate the process, then it should run for infinity for the purposes of this task.
