Hi,

My O/S is DU 4.0d. Somehow I cannot kill any of my ksh scripts with Ctrl-C.
 Ctrl-C is supposed to sent an INT signal. I have the following command in
my .profile to ensure that it is the case:

     stty kill '^X' intr '^C'

To debug the problem, I wrote a ksh script which traps the INT signal (trap
signal_handler_INT INT) and the script did not receive the interrupt signal
when Ctrl-C was pressed.

I do NOT think that the problem is with the keyboard driver since Ctrl_C
works find in emacs.

Please help.

Thanks,
