[fa.info-vax] Interrupt messages

I'm not running VMS V4.x yet but have been asked to pass on a question
for friends who do but can't talk to net-land;

Seems that the interrupt characters (CTRL/Y, CTRL/O, etc) don't just
perform a function, they also echo a cute little reverse video message
to the screen.  This tends to blow away some devices they had been
treating (for convenience of interface) as terminals, in particular
some souped-up graphics devices.  Is there a reasonable way to disable
that echo?

Thanks-

Doug

Yeah, I thought those cute little reverse video frobs looked very BigBlueish,
and was thankful to find a pointer to sys$examples:sysgttstr.msg in the 
doc for SYSGEN, yet!  So I fixed everything back to a simple ^Y, ^C, and 
^Z like it shoulda been in the first place.  But while it lasted, it was
*highly* amusing.
