Dunno what ESC is as an interrupt keystroke; unlike ^C (which is often, although not always, the "intr" character) and ^Z (which is usually the "susp" character), ESC isn't normally an interrupt keystroke. It may be used as a "secondary end-of-line" character by some shells, such as those that support filename completion, but that's not an interrupt keystroke. >SysV also allows 'stty -isig' to turn off interpretation of the control >char. (usually ^C) assigned to 'intr', *And* the ones assigned to "quit", "swtch" - *and* "susp", if your system has an S5-flavored tty driver and job control.
