Are you using the supplied init.prg? By default, programs ignore the
SIGTSTP signal generated by CTRL-Z. Only if you have a shell that
understands job control (e.g. the sample init.prg, or bash) will
(ALT-)CTRL-Z work. Also, programs compiled knowing about MiNT may still
decide to ignore those keys (although they shouldn't :-).
