Has anyone worked out how to ignore the Ctrl-C signal exception. I have some
programs that I wrote for v1.3, where I want to receive Ctrl-C from the
keyboard. Under 1.3 this was easy, I just called DosSetSignalHandler with NULL
for the new handler, and IGNORE for the signals that I was interested in. 

I see that DosSetSignalHandler is not part of v2.0 (except as a 16 bit call as
are the Vio, Kbd etc, which is no use to me since I don't have C Set/2). And
the signal handlers has been replaced by Exceptions.

If someone has already worked out how to ignore a Signal Exception, then this
would save me having to sort all this out for myself (and probably get it
wrong).

Thanks in advance for any help
