This may be a FAQ, but I've managed to miss the answers :-) I'm an emacs
user who would like to have ^c, ^s, and ^q passed through by default to my
telnet connections (i.e. I do NOT want to muck with the "setup keys" dialog
each and every session I open).  TFM claims that this is possible via the
config.tel file, and that the documentation is available in chapter 8 of
(the July '89 version) the manual.  Chapter 8 is totally silent on the
matter of setup keys. Mucking around a little, I've found that an entry of
the form:

interrupt=" " 

is recognized by the program, but one of the form:

interruptprocess=" " 

produces an error message (i.e. I believe that 'interrupt' is the correct
keyword for the function that defaults to ^c).  However, I have been
unsuccessful in getting this keyword to accept a new default value.
Has anyone been successful in getting this to work?  

I've sent e-mail to telbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu asking this very question, but a
finger of that account reveals that e-mail hasn't been read in months.

Please e-mail any responses and I'll summarize to the net if interest
warrants. 

	Thanks in advance for any help you can give me...
