- So it *does* work, and oes what it is meant to do: abort the current command.
- It just does not do what you expect it to do.

- The best yu can do is to execute on the SUN, whenever you start a window
- (or shell):
-
- stty erase ^h
-
- and get used to the backspace key.
-
- Or (much less useful) you execute on the SGI (and most other machines):
-
- stty erase ^? intr ^c
-
- with the obvious quoting requirements to shield the ^ and ?.
