Interrupting Octave

[Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho]

Hello,

I have a program which shows GNU Octave command line inside a GUI and
I would like to be able to interrupt it.

1> Under Windows, it is terribly painful to send a SIGINT, and the
possible solutions are terrible (going from code injection to using
external executables). Does GNU Octave respond to any other way of
receiving a SIGINT? Like for example, receiving a custom WM_SOMETHING
message?

2> Does GNU Octave under Windows call SetConsoleCtrlHandler to set a
handler for Ctrl+C or does it only use the signal UNIX routine?

3> Under Mac OS X, GNU Octave starts and then creates a new terminal.
It doesn't use the standard input/output file descriptors, if they are
provided for it. It is possible to make it use the standard
input/output instead of using it's own terminal window?

thanks in advance,
