1680.1Oh, that old chestnutIOSG::TALLETTGimmee an Alpha colour notebook...Thu Oct 29 1992 07:5212
    Hi there!
    
>into ALL-IN-1, users are unable to execute a CTRL C.  The users run an 
>application that need to do a CTRL C in from time to time.  I saw a note
    
    	How do you mean, they run an application... Is this run in a
    	subprocess, or is it forms and scripts or what? It would help
    	to know where you are to try and figure out what control-C
    	trapping is SUPPOSED to be in action.
    
    Regards,
    Paul

    Has your customer tried the CONTROL_HANDLERS_OFF (& *ON) functions?
    
    Cheers

1680.3More informationAIMTEC::MORABITO_PThu Oct 29 1992 20:1931
Here is a better description of the situation, and how the LIB$SPAWN is 
executed.  
		
		- A user logs into the VMS system

		- A menu is presented, this menu is generated by a BASIC
		  program.
	
		- If the user enters the selection to use ALL-IN-1, 
		  a LIB$SPAWN is executed, the user is now in a subprocess
	          off the main process and enters ALL-IN-1. 

		- At certain times, the user would like to use a CTNL/C 
		  to stop a operation they have started.  

	Example:
		  When a user edits a WPSPLUS document, they execute a 
		  Gold down arrow to get to the bottom of the document.
		  As the documents is scrolling by, they see something 
		  they want to change.  They type a CTNL/C to stop
		  the scrolling, this works fine if you enter from
		  DCL, but entering through the menu they cannot stop 
		  the scrolling.

		I have tried setting CONTROL_HANDLERS_OFF.  This has
		no effect.

Thanks,

Paul
1680.4I'm not an expert on this, but...SCOTTC::MARSHALLThu Oct 29 1992 23:034
Err, I think CONTROL_HANDLERS_ON is the one you want (assuming that this is
the problem!)                 ^^

1680.5Not CONTROL_HANDLERSAIMTEC::MORABITO_PFri Oct 30 1992 18:505
    Scott,  
    	   Setting the CONTROL_HANDLERS ON/OFF had no effect on the
    	   problem.
