+!Hotkeys for some of the above symbols.
+
+These hotkeys can be found by typing:
+
+*stty -a
+
+intr = ^C; quit = ^\; kill = ^U; susp = ^Z
+<verbatim>
+intr = [SIGINT]
+quit = [SIGQUIT]
+kill = [SIGKILL]
+susp = [SIGSTOP]
+</verbatim>
+
+Some people have a misconception that CTRL-S and CTRL-Q send a [SIGSTOP] and [SIGCONT] signal respectively.
+
+This is not the case!
+
+CTRL-S and CTRL-Q are used to control the flow of output to the terminal. CTRL-S tells the system not to send any more data to the screen until a CTRL-Q is pressed. You can use these to control fast scrolling output.
Here are a couple of pages that show how to code for signals:<br>
