Trouble with CONTROL KEYS in NCSA Telnet

Many people use NCSA Telnet from Macintoshes on the network. If you are
having trouble with using the Control-s, Control-c, and Control-q keys
this is an easily corrected difficulty.

NCSA Telnet for the Macintosh by default captures the
Control-s, Control-c, and Control-q keys -- and uses them for internal
flow-control and interrupts.

You can turn this off by going to the Sessions menu, and choosing "Setup
Keys" from there (or by hitting Command-S) once you have a session
started.  This should popup a dialog box with three cells on it -- you
should backspace over each one, and then click on "OK" to finalize the
changes.  This will allow the Control-s, Control-c, and Control-q keys
to be sent through NCSA Telnet to Athena, and thus allow you to save and
exit Emacs.
