Ehud, 
 
My apologies. I thought when corresponding with an "expert" such 
as yourself, it was not necessary to cite "Introductory 
Material", however, since you seem unwilling to follow your own 
recommendations (RTFM), I will be explicit.
 
Please open your copy of the "VMS DCL Concepts Manual" (DEC Order 
Number AA-LA10A-TE) to page 2-7. I draw your attention to Section 
2.5, which clearly includes a description of the functions 
provided by the various terminal function keys.  I quote:
 
          "CTRL/C and F6   During command entry, cancels command 
           processing. CTRL/C is displayed as "Cancel".
 
           Certain Applications enable CTRL/C as the cancel key.
           For these applications, CTRL/C cancels the operation
           in progress. If CTRL/C is not enabled, the action is
           changed to an INTERRUPT (CTRL/Y)."
 
If you can read the last line of the above citation, you will 
discover that, IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT ACTION BY A USER 
PROGRAM, CTRL/C EQUALS CTRL/Y.
 
I repeat, in the absence of explicit provisions by the user to 
use CTRL/C, the LIB$DISABLE_CTRL subroutine is the preferred 
mechanism for disabling the functions of CTRL/Y, CTRL/T, and 
CTRL/C (If you cannot find the reference in the I/O Users Guide, 
I will be happy to point it out to you).

As noted above, you should take time to RTFM prior to arming your 
flamethrower. In any event, you are merely demonstrating that you 
are incapable of conversing without resorting to obscenities (if 
this is chronic in your personality, I suggest that you seek a 
different forum, perhaps, net.obscenities.addicted).

Ehud,
 
See my comments above. If you still feel an irresistable urge to 
mouth obscenities in a adult discussion, I suggest three solutions:
 
   1.  See a professional counselor
   2.  Wash your mouth out with your favorite brand of soap
   3.  Make a solution of Hydrated Finish Lime (calcium 
       hydroxide/magnesium oxide), and gargle with it.
