Then, hit ctrl-c. But bc is an interactive calculator thing, just like running python gives you an interactive python shell. ^C for bc wouldn't make a lot of sense. yum is a system admin tool that you use to update your box, it's in the same category as top, find, ps, rpm, etc. All of those exit cleanly when you type ^C. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
