Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I can't seem to figure it out.  For a program
I'm writing in MSC 6.0, I need to be able to prevent the user from breaking
out of it.  Now, capturing SIGINT's will do this, but it still causes a
"^C" to be printed to the console.  Needless to say, this is *really* ugly,
and it's not at all friendly when the screen starts scrolling.  Has
anyone figured out a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance for any help!
