Well, it may not be the ONLY way to do it, but you might try working 
with the file:

	SYS$EXAMPLES:SYSGTTSTR.MSG

It contains instructions and sample text that allows you to customize
the echoes from ^C, ^Y, ^O, and the like.

I won't go into great detail on how to use it: the file is VERY well
documented (just read it), even for a novice.
