Typing Shift-Delete is how you send the BREAK signal in Red Ryder.
I'm sure this is documented in the manual (I don't remember having to
hunt for it, so I must have read it). Apparently, your terminal
concentrator uses BREAK as the signal to return to the CLI.
I don't remember whether there's a way to disable this feature,
though. Look in the customization menus to see.
