Do Control-C or Control-Break generate interrupts under Windows 3.1.  The
toolhelp function InterruptRegister does not have any interrupt corresponding
to Control-C or Control-Break.

I would like to be able to stop a program when the user hits one of those key
combinations.  I do not want to have to check the input queue, but handle it
like it is done on UNIX systems; by setting up a signal handler for SIGINT.

Is it possible? How?
