Can someone tell me how to disable control character effects in
a c program on a Msdos system?  The problem I am having is that
when the user is inputing data during a fgets call, and hits
a ctrl-p <return>, the system displays the following message:

Write fault error writing device PRN
Abort, Retry?

and no keboard entry seems to get past it.  I must reset.


Thanks for any help.  If there is an FAQ that contains this
info, please point me to it.
