Interesting.  I can attest that the version of ncurses I'm running in a
terminal window in my default (CNOME) x-window GUI is not disabling the
shell's interpretation of keyboard input.  Control-C kills the app, and I
loose the text I was writing.  :(   At least I can recover from control Z
(with an fg command).  Some other key strokes get eaten, making movement
within the full screen editor interesting.....

Control-break is not getting properly trapped in the code I'm running. 
Good to hear a version has this fixed.  Hmmmm....  I should have this fixed
now that I did a cvs checkout for the source code and recompiled from
that.....  Hmmmm....  Time to try a control-c again.....

Take care......
