I've got an application running under Borland C++ 3.0 on a Dell 386 box
(MS-DOS 5.0), using the BGI graphics library to manage the VGA display.

I'm trying to use Borland's "ctrlbrk" function to handle ^C/^Break events
(setting a flag that another routine eventually notices), and it seems to
work as advertised, except that I can't seem to suppress the echo of
"^C<CR>" to the screen (which trashes the display).  Obviously there's some
chunk of code outside the default ^C handler which is doing this echoing
(the BIOS keystroke handler, maybe?), but I thought I'd check before trying
to hunt it down myself.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Pete
