I am using Borland Turbo C++ 4.5 compiler, with IDE (TCWIN), under
Windows 95. If I execute a program that goes into an infinite loop, I
am not able to break out of it using Ctrl+Break. I end up doing
Ctrl+Alt+Delete several times, and then re-booting. There must be a
better way...Thanks for your help!!

Try Ctrl-Alt-SysReq.

Ctrl+C might work.

Thanks for the input, but the program just keeps looping when I use
Ctrl-Alt-SeyReq or Ctrl-C.

Thanks for the input, but Ctrl+C does not break the loop (neither does
Ctrl+Alt+SysReq.

If it is a target platform DOS program, make sure your MS-DOS control panel
doesn't have the keys disabled.
