I use a Bourne shell script that I call "news" to read netnews.  I defined
a csh alias

	alias news '(checknews -q || \news)'

so that I can run it in either the foreground or the background.  It works
fine in both modes, but when it runs in the background and I get notification
it says something like

	[1]  + Stopped (tty output) (  < ^A > ^A )

Why the "^A"s and the redirection symbols? (This is on ultrix 2.2).
