The general platform independent solution would have been 'Crt.CheckBreak
:= false' (or System.SysSetCtrlBreakHandler without unit Crt should you
not use/need that) - except for the fact that maintainers of most
platforms (all those mentioned by you) decided not to implement/support
this functionality and thus it would not work for those platforms you are
interested in... :-/
