Apparently RTPAD in general has its own ideas of what control characters should
look like at the other end [or rather, what they should *do* at the other
end].  I wish they would rehack it to do /passall and use a proper interrupt
character protocol [type it twice to send it, etc].  Being able to easily 
suspend a session would be nice, too.

You *can* suspend a session, in sort of a kludgey way, if you spawn/nowait
set host wherever, and then do WAIT n in your top-level process.  When you
^Y, your top-level process will wake up again and you can tell *it* to manually
suspend the RTPAD process, and it will stick around.  But this is painful.
