The key used to kill the current process ( like a "tail -f" ) is
determined 
by values in the "stty" command.  The keystrokes defined for intr
(interrupt),
quit, and kill should all stop a tail, ftp, man, etc. although intr and
quit
are the "polite" way of asking a process to stop. 

A RaQ4 defaults to the following values:
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; kill = ^U; 

type "stty -a" and check out the values on your system.
