  It sounds like what you want is ^Z (eg Unix), not ^C, if you want to 
talk to the OS again..  If you want to kill the process you could tell
the OS to do that once you have a command line again.  (Or, like for OS/2,
when you have a gui again.)  
  It's very nice to be able to run any DOS/Windows software under OS/2
and be able to hop back and forth between the system shell and the appli-
cation via control-escape..  And under Linux I always leave an "emergency"
command shell running on virtual terminal one, so I can press Alt-F1 to
get back to it.
  In other words, yes.  I agree with you, it's a nice feature to have.
