Only Dave Rottkamp would say something like:

The <DEL> key on SCO, by default, sends SIGINT (the interrupt signal.
filePro doesn't really pay attention to a keystroke for break, but the
receipt of SIGINT.

Therefore, it -is- possible to change it.  On Linux, for example, SIGINT is
Control-C by default.  Same on FreeBSD.

The limitation of this is that you must set SIGINT with `stty`, such as:
     stty intr "^C"

I don't believe stty will let you set multi-byte values (^C is two bytes,
but is a visual representation for one byte).  So unless you can force
<END> to issue a single byte, I don't believe that key is suitable for this
purpose.
