Subject: SIGNAL_VIA_CHARACTERS will default to on in beta 14
X-Mailer: VM 6.32 under 20.3 "Sofia" XEmacs  Lucid (beta9)
Reply-To: Martin Buchholz <mrb@Eng.Sun.COM>

Defining this will allow C-c C-c in shell mode
(comint-interrupt-subjob) to work even after a su or rlogin, because
it works by "typing" a character at the pty instead of sending a
signal.  The former behaviour has been annoying me for years.

The only popular affected systems should be HP-UX and Solaris.  Please 
try out the process interrupt code next beta.
