I have discovered, much to my dismay, that xicon and iconx will not pass
control-c to the process.  Initially this was discoved when I tried to start a
demo with an iconx script.  If the demo was run from the cli a control-c would
abort the demo.  However, if it was  launched from an iconx or xicon script the
 control-c would be ignored.  I have also tried this with dir.  Again,
control-c was ignored.

So... My question is.  Does anyone know of an iconx type program that WILL pass
 control-c?  For now, I'm specifying the number of times the demo runs in the
script but I'd rather be able to abort it at any time.

Last note:  Before anyone suggests that I make sure that the window is current
I've already done that.
