filepro menus and Ctrl-S - maybe Anzio setting?

A client has a few menus that have nineteen options on them.
The first character on each of these menus is a Ctrl-S. (I think
dmakemenu starts at Ctrl-A and then goes up by one - up through the
last non-blank option - so on these menus, the nineteenth option
is the last option, ergo the Ctrl-S as the first char in the file.)
Anyway, when they run via Anzio, the screen is frozen when you
arrive at the menu and a Ctrl-Q needs to be typed to unfreeze
the screen. Easily fixable inserting a blank line somewhere on
the menu so that the last non-blank option is above 19. Also,
I understand you do not get this behavior using putty. I don't
get it coming from mac term using xterm.
I don't have an Anzio here, so I'm wondering - is there something
that can be set in Anzio that will ignore the Ctrl-S? And for that
matter, what about the other standard Unix/Linux keyboard
short-cuts - if it's hearing Ctrl-S, then wouldn't it hear Ctrl-B,
or Ctrl-C, etc. when it might be the first char in the menu file?
