I downloaded MiNT and so far it looks nice.  Problem is, it doesn't do
me all that much good since I can't stop any jobs--i.e., almost all
the programs I use regularly (JOVE, uniterm, less) use 'raw' input
mode, so they eat the ^z themselves.  Suggestion to the author, Eric
Smith:  put in another special ctrl-alt keystroke like ctrl-alt-z, to
stop the current job whether it takes raw or cooked input.  This would
be nice for the other keystrokes ctrl-c and ctrl-\, as well.  I make
this suggestion based on my observation that the ctrl-alt keys for
debugging _do_ work in raw mode.  There are probably technical
problems with this that I can't possibly forsee since I have only a
miniscule understanding of multitasking, but I do know that it would
make your program much more valuable.  Meantime, I'll use it when I
need pipes and such but it would be nice to be able to use a program
with so much potential to the fullest extent of its abilities.
Good luck,

                   nick

p.s. If I'm just overlooking something and there is already a way to
do what I want, _please_ let me know!
