Control-C in Windows command line programs

- Subject: Control-C in Windows command line programs
Dear all,
I have encountered the following problem, and I wonder if
anyone has a good solution to it.
I am running a number of programs that are compiled to be
run in the Windows command shell (formerly called DOS
command shell). I am running Windows 2000.
It works fine to run them in cygwin bash as well. The only
problem I have is that control-C does not behave as it
should!
Normally, in the Windows command shell, control-C is
understood and handled by the applications themselves.
But when I run them under cygwin, control-C terminates the
application.
I have tried to install traps, with no success.
I have had this problem with virtually all applications
installed on my computer which run in the windows command
shell: Pine, Hugs, GHCi (the last two are interpreters for a
programming language called Haskell), and sometimes even
OpenSSH for cygwin has the same problem.
I wonder if there is a general solution to this that somehow
traps control-C and leaves my applications running.
Thanks,
/Koen.
