CTRL-Z to Toggle Inverse does nothing

# stty -a

Please be more specific on put "stty susp ''" I have very limited knowledge
with Unix.

Thank you for your help

It's possible 6.0 has left you with a terminal driver that understands
SUGSUSP, but a shell which does not; the terminal driver would eat the
Ctrl-Z, but the shell would ignore the signal.

Check 'stty -a' and see if ^Z is mentioned.

If so, put "stty susp ''" and see if that fixes it.
