You can change this to anything you want on most UNIX systems (including Sun) by doing (e.g.): % stty dsusp ^A to change it to ^A (control-A). I do this all the time so I can run up-left in certain screen-oriented programs :-) without popping out to the shell. Once you have set dsusp to something else, ^Y is just an ordinary character. There, wasn't that easy? Howard A. Landman landman@hanami.sun.com UUCP: sun!hanami!landman
