"A means would also have to be developed to ignore ^C typed by the
user, but respond to the BREAK command ( by shutting down )."

I didn't think about this until *after* I posted.  It would be a
problem and so would ^D, ^E, &^F.  But maybe it could be put on the list
of "Things To Look Into Maybe Adding To 2.x".  I mean, I have lived
without it for this long so I can continue.  But it would be nice
on occasion to have a script tell another cli to go away.
