125.0. "how to disable ctrl/p on systems" by ANNECY::LEFORT_D () Tue Jun 03 1997 12:34

    HELLO,
    
    A customer ask me how to disable the use of CRTL/P on  alphaserver 4100
     and dec3900 systems.
    I don't find any topics in tima about this.
    Is there a solution ?
    Thanks for help.

125.1Check Console DocsXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringWed Jun 04 1997 10:0415
   Check the console user's documentation for the platform -- most
   systems have UARTs that will accept <ctrl/p> via the console can
   also have it disabled via a mechanism such as a console environment
   variable, switching over to a <break> (framing error) halt.

   In general, I'd not be using text editors or other tools on the
   console -- the reason most folks want to disable processing of
   <ctrl/p> on the console -- I'd use serial terminal lines or
   workstation interfaces.  There are specific system messages that
   will appear only on the console.

   Check the WRKSYS::DEC3000 and MVBLAB::ALPHASERVER_4100 notes
   conferences for pointers to the console manuals.
