    That's what SCO uses instead of ^C. It's character 127. If your using a VT
    emulator it's Ctrl-Backspace.

    It was indeed assigned to "^?". I can't find a reference to it anywhere
    though, so I'm wondering why it is different from any of our other nodes.

    Perform 'stty -a' at the command line.

    See what 'intr' (interrupt) is assigned ... If it says ^C, then you may be
    in a subshell of a program. VI, for example, manages the interrupt
    character FOR you, so that if you shell out of VI, interrupt doesn't work
    properly (it's intercepted, or remapped ... It's been a while).

    If it doesn't say ^C, then use that character for interrupt, or perform

            stty intr ^C ... (press CTRL-C here, not the two
    characters)

    I don't know why in your case it should be different, but we do things in
    /etc/profile as well.

    What would prevent my from being able to ctrl-c a ping, or any other little
    app like that? This is a 4.3.3 node. I don't see any traps in
    the /.profile or /.kshrc or /etc/environment. This happens as root
    aswell as with my skeleton user account. What could cause this?
