Besides the INT instruction, there may be a flag in the VC that needs
to be set.  I'm pretty sure that that signal will make its way thence
unabated from the S3 to the XP10, wherein it is again masked by some
flags you have to set.

I'd look for it, but the only thing I can think about right now is my
Ph.D. candidacy exam coming up.  I have a candidacy proposal
(basically most of a dissertation, with a proposal for additional
research), a 7-day take-home written exam from July 1 to 7, and a
presentation and oral exam on the 14th.  Anyone want to read by 123
page thesis?  :)

I'll see if I can try to figure it out tonight or some night soon just
before I go to bed.
