Okay.  I'm tired of rebooting my Amiga every 15 or 20 minutes.  I'm working
on a program that really *needs* to call a routine called "cleanup" on
exit.  But the program doesn't work real good yet, and I end up ctrl-C-ing
out of all my debug statements once I see what's going on.

So here I am all set to add a call to the UNIX signal() function, but I
see that the Amiga version looks a lot more like the kill() function.

And Rob Peck's book doesn't explan this.  Nor do I have the "exec" RKM.
So, can I tell the Amiga to call cleanup() on ctrl-C, then ignore the
possibility afterwards?  (cleanup calls exit...)  Under unix, I would
just do:  signal(SIGINT, cleanup); signal(SIGQUIT, cleanup); (or whatever
the arg order is).  I suspect this would fall under "exception processing"
which Rob tells us he isn't going to tell us anything.

If this is possible, does anyone have a code fragment I could use?
