Attached below please find the patches which introduce SIGQUIT support 
along these lines, including some simple changes to header files and the 
docs.  These changes also add the ability to change the INTR and QUIT 
keys from the application code.

  codes are specified in @code{<signal.h>} (see below).  Every signal is
  given a mnemonic which you should use for portable programs.

! for the signal @code{SIGINT} doesn't print the traceback, and calls
! @code{exit} instead of @code{_exit}, when the INTR key (@kbd{Ctrl-C})
! is pressed, so that programs could be shut down safely in this manner.
  @code{SIGINT} raised by @kbd{Ctrl- AT key{BREAK}} does generate the

  occurs.  The execution of the program will be suspended until the
  handler returns or calls @code{longjmp} (@pxref{longjmp}).

! signal happens, or SIG_IGN to ignore that signal.  Signal handlers that
! you write are regular C functions, and may call any function that the

  @subheading Description
  
! This function sets and resets the bit which controls whether
! @code{SIGINT} (@pxref{signal, SIGINT}) will be raised when you press
! @kbd{Ctrl-C}.  By default @kbd{Ctrl-C} generates an interrupt signal
  which, if uncaught by a signal handler, will abort your program.
  However, when you call the @code{setmode} library function to switch the
  console reads to binary mode, or open the console in binary mode for
! reading, this generation of interrupt signal is turned off, because some
! programs want to get the @samp{^C} characters as any other character and
! handle them by themselves.
  
  @code{__djgpp_set_ctrl_c} lets you explicitly determine the effect of
! @kbd{Ctrl-C}.  When called with non-zero value of @var{enable}, it
! arranges for @kbd{Ctrl-C} to generate an interrupt; if you call it with
! a zero in @var{enable}, @kbd{Ctrl-C} are treated as normal characters.
  
! Note that the effect of @kbd{Ctrl-Break} key is unaffected by this
  function; use the @code{_go32_want_ctrl_break} library function to
  control it.

+ @subheading Description
+ 
+ This function changes the INTR key that generates the signal
+ @code{SIGINT}.  By default, @kbd{Ctrl-C} is set as the INTR key.  To
+ replace it with another key, put the @emph{scan code} of the new INTR
+ key into the bits 0-7 and the required keyboard status byte into bits
+ 8-15 of @var{new_key}, and call this function.  Here's how the keyboard
+ status bits are defined:
+ 
+ @example
+ 
+    Bit
+  76543210    Meaning
+ 
+  .......X    Right Shift key
+  ......X.    Left Shift key

+  .X......    Caps Lock key
+  X.......    Insert
+ 
+ @end example
+ 
+ @noindent
+ A 1 in any of the above bits means that the corresponding key should be
+ pressed; a zero means it should be released.  Currently, all but the
+ lower 4 bits are always ignored by the DJGPP keyboard handler when
+ you set the INTR key using this function.
+ 
+ For example, the default @kbd{Ctrl-C} key should be passed as
+ @code{0x042e}, since the scan code of the @key{C} key is 2Eh, and when
+ the @key{Ctrl} key is pressed, the keyboard status byte is 04h.
+ 
+ To disable @code{SIGINT} generation, pass zero as the argument (since no
+ key has a zero scan code).
+ 
+ This function will set things up so that the left @key{Shift} key
+ doesn't affect Ctrl- and Alt-modified keys; the right @key{Shift} key
+ won't affect them either, unless its bit is explicitly set in
+ @var{new_key}.  This means that @kbd{Ctrl-C} and @kbd{Ctrl-c} will both
+ trigger @code{SIGINT} if @code{0x042e} is passed to this function.
+ 
+ The DJGPP built-in keyboard handler pretends that when the right
+ @key{Shift} key is pressed, so is the left @key{Shift} key (but not vice
+ versa).
+ 
+ For getting similar effects via the POSIX @code{termios} functions, see
