Ctrl-C and try-catch

[Paul Kienzle]

The following code prints 'no' if I hit control C or 'yes' if it
runs to completion:

  octave> try; for i=1:100000, x=i+1; end; 'yes', catch, 'no', end;
  ans = no

Is there any way to stop a try-catch from catching Ctrl-C?  Or detect
if Ctrl-C is pressed so that I can throw it again in the interrupt?
Or tell Ctrl-C to return to the top level, skipping all try-catch
blocks?

Thanks,

Paul Kienzle
