Yes, perfect!  I just checked the man page to see I hadn't just
missed something, and the pager finds no occurance of "undef".  How
did you know about this?  (RTFS, right? :-)

I am putting
stty susp undef dsusp undef
in their .login scripts right now...

BTW, is there a global way to change such things?  If I wanted to make
erase ^h and define status system-wide, is there a straight-forward
way to do that?
