Typing Shift-Delete is how you send the BREAK signal in Red Ryder.
I'm sure this is documented in the manual (I don't remember having to
hunt for it, so I must have read it).  Apparently, your terminal
concentrator uses BREAK as the signal to return to the CLI.

I don't remember whether there's a way to disable this feature,
though.  Look in the customization menus to see.
