How would you use terminal emulator DAs (like MockTerminal) on a Mac Plus
if there were?  Unless you never wanted to type control-Q or control-W.

We didn't put in these command keys because when a DA is in front, it gets
all command keys.  In DA Handler, a DA is always in front.  We didn't want
to usurp these keys from DAs which use them (MockTerminal being one example).
