Erm... I'm confused on what you're thinking, Bill.
^Z only works -as SIGSUSP- in shells with POSIX job control. The OP is
talking about fP's ^Z inverse text toggle not working--which would only
work inside a shell -without- POSIX job control. Under those shells, you
have to remap either fP's key, or set SIGSUSP to something else with stty.
If he says it does nothing, then neither is working. I'd think he'd notice
a "Suspended" notice that, and not just say it does nothing.
