Normally send_message will send its text via zephyr. It only outputs
to the tty if the WGFILE environment variable isn't set (which is a
very bizarre test, incidentally). Do you use the default Athena
dotfiles?

On private workstations, the script execs netscape, so presumably
netscape is the process which doesn't listen to a ^Z. (I hadn't
observed that before; it seems rather unfriendly.)
