TPU has always allowed commands to be bound to any key. The problem is, the\ VMS terminal driver will not pass ^X, ^C, ^S, and ^Q to applications under ordinary circumstances. Thus, TPU will never see those keys come in. If you set the terminal /PASSALL, it is possible to bind to all of the aforementioned keys. Of course, there are other reasons why you might not want to run with the terminal set /PASSALL. --PSW
