	How would one go about creating an asynchronous signal/task
which would check for a given an external user generated interrupt  
(such as CTRL-c or CTRL-\). I'd like to be able to check for these 
so I can easily exit programs I write while they're running. I'd like 
to know a general purpose way of doing this -- I'm not using Lattice,
so I can't use its Enable_Abort CTRL-c checking.
		
		Many Thanks,
