System name:		tailgunner  AND  copilot
Type and version:	KN01 7.4G        VAXstation 3100
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?
	Modify the flow control stop sequence, using stty stop "^["

What's wrong:
	Pressing ^s still withheld input until ^q was depressed.
	The stty command was verified by doing "stty all".

What should have happened:
	^s should have "beeped", as per the man page of tcsh, where it is
	indicated that both ^s and ^q are defined to be "bad".

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man pages for stty and tcsh.
