TPU has always allowed commands to be bound to any key.  The problem is, the\
VMS terminal driver will not pass ^X, ^C, ^S, and ^Q to applications under
ordinary circumstances.  Thus, TPU will never see those keys come in.

If you set the terminal /PASSALL, it is possible to bind to all of the
aforementioned keys.  Of course, there are other reasons why you might not
want to run with the terminal set /PASSALL.
