We have now heard several approaches to cure ^C, none of then
seem to be sure fire. But I am sure they are on the right track.

Now for a new problem....

I use the MKS shell, as I know a lot of you also do.

Occasionally I get a very annoying behavior. In the emacs command line
mode ^P recalls the previous line from the history. Some times when I
press ^P, I toggle the printer on (Dumb Dos behavior, IMHO), instaed
of recalling the previous command. This especially happens when I am
running a program, quit the program and before the command line
returns, type ^P. I my also be screwing things up by using FansiConsole
which replaces parts of the bios code.

Any clues...?

I'd like a little installable device that redefines ^P to a no-op
with respect to the printer.

MKS says they trap it and only when the shell does not have control of
the keyboard, does this happen. So their answer is wait for the shell
to return.
