   On all the DEC terminal keyboards I've used, the key which sends
   Control-_ is Control-/.  That's Control-Slash.  Since it's not a
   shift key, it's *much* easier to hit, IMHO.  I use it all the time!
   It's one of the reasons I think Emacs beats the pants off all the
   other editors.$$

I just tried that on a real VT220, and it works... thanks.
Unfortunately, MS-Kermit doesn't do that... maybe it's time to teach
it some new tricks.
