You cannot bind ^s and ^q unless you set the NO_FLOW_CONTROL option, or change the start/stop characters with stty. Unfortunately I had some bad experiences with NO_FLOW_CONTROL which is not related to zsh. If NO_FLOW_CONTROL is on and I log in using PPP via modem and issue a command which produces a long output, the output stops after a while, waits for a few seconds and gives back the prompt whithout printing the trailing part of the document. This does not happend without NO_FLOW_CONTROL. It is possible that the bad motherboard of the ppp server is responsible for the problem (the server is a Linux box, and the kernel prints eth0: interrupted while interrupts are masked messages when this happens, but it prints this message very often when there are no visible problems and noonone uses ppp). Bye, Zoltan
