Jon,
  If you want to do this from within a program, then you ought to
be able to create a control-c handler which emulates the "special
meaning" of control-c by calling LIB$PAUSE. The basic procedure
for creating a control-c handler is outlined in the I/O Users Reference
Manual, Part 1, Section 8.4.3.2 (Enable CTRL/C AST & CTRL/Y AST
Function Modifiers) and/or 8.4.3.5 (Enable Out-of-Band AST Function
Modifier). Your AST routine should call LIB$PAUSE and also reenable
the CTRL/C AST, as it is a one shot deal.

  Hope this helps.
  Cheers,
