Hello all,

I am in the process of writing a program in Turbo Pascal.  What the program 
should do when finished is ask for a password, then lock up the terminal until
the password is entered.  I have the main part working, only that anyone
with an IQ of over 60 knows that you can press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break to exit
the program.  Is there any way to temporarily disable these two key comb-
inations?  Please E-mail to the address below.

Thanks,

-ccb
