Moin Jorgen,

28.10.95 02:56, you wrote a message to Peter Fitzsimmons:

Depends how the system/keyboard driver handles the keys. OS/2 tries to
create a window list on Ctrl-ESC which is a lot of work to be done
(especially if the system has already crashed :).
On DOS you can always write a TSR which ignores C-A-D and reboots on -- say
-- typing BOOT in big letters.

So it's kind of historic that,
Ctrl-C       terminates the current process
Ctrl-Break   tries harder
Ctrl-Q/S     stops/starts terminal output
C-A-D        reboots
...

You should never confuse an user by assigning unusual reactions to those
sequences. An yes: a server or multiuser machine should ignore C-A-D (just
like NetWare und most UNIXes do).

Bye,
