BREAK():{Error,return-value}
----------------------------
This is a Read-Eval-Print loop, similar to the top level loop, except
that the following IDs at the top level cause functions to be called
rather than being evaluated:

? 	 Print this message, listing active Break IDs
T 	 Print stack backtrace
Q 	 Exit break loop back to ErrorSet
A	 Abort to top level, i.e. restart PSL
C 	 Return last value to the ContinuableError call
R        Reevaluate ErrorForm!* and return
M      	 Display ErrorForm!* as the "message"
E        Invoke a simple structure editor on ErrorForm!*
		(For more information do Help Editor.)
I	 Show a trace of any interpreted functions

See the manual for details on the Backtrace, and how ErrorForm!* is
set.  The Break Loop attempts to use the same TopLoopRead!* etc, as
the calling top loop, just expanding the PromptString!*.
