      No. (Again:) *Read* what people write: What I am referring to is where
    the setting is *changed* from the (termio(7)/SVID/XPG/standard) default
    of '@'. For a POSIX or Korn shell, the stty command which sets kill to
    something *other* than '@' is either in /etc/profile (which I mentioned)
    or in ~user/.profile (which the FAQ mentions).

      Nobody slammed you,and I pointed you to the FAQ. To the FAQ itself and
    to the relevant part of it. So please no fairy tales about things which
    did never happen.

      "H-PUKES"! Very drole and very mature! I'm sure no-one has ever heard
    that 'joke' before.

      Reality check: Do you *really* think that people are going to help you
    if you slam the systems which they use or/and support?

      And that flame is relevant in exactly which way?
