Backburner. Because I have other things to do for now and also because, to tell you the truth, I'm not really psyched at the idea of using `throw' instead of (signal 'quit ): after all this quit-on-input is really a variant of `quit' and not something of a different nature. Proof is that it should (and does) obey inhibit-quit. Stefan
