If I understand your clarification, it is NOT that the user is typing 
ctrl-S, it's that a menu file that happens to SHOW a ctrl-S (if you open 
it in an editor, which is not recommended) somehow causes a problem. 
Right?

If that is true, and IF filePro somehow displayed (output) that ctrl-S, 
then it is possible that this causes a problem with Anzio (and not with 
PuTTY).
