wine users - Jul 2011 - Wine command line - sending break signal

Hi,

I hope someone can help me and sorry if this is answered elsewhere but I got no
luck using the search.

I am new to wine and using it in a very basic way, I just need to run a simple
dos program from the command line under CentOS over a remote SSH session, I do
this in two different ways:

- from the linux prompt I run "wine cmd", then from inside cmd I run
"program.exe"
- from the linux prompt I run "wine program.exe"

Both work pretty fine and program.exe runs as expected, the only  problem I have
is that whenever I try to send a break signal to program.exe (like ctrl+c or
ctrl+break) instad of terminating program.exe this actually terminates the whole
wine session, which is not what I need.

How can I send keyboard signals to a program running inside wine on the command
line? Is this an option I have to change in wine? or on my putty terminal? am I
using wine the wrong way?

Any advise appreciated...

Fixing it shouldn't be too hard for a C programmer.

Thanks a lot for the tip, wineconsole along with Xming did the trick for me. I
can now send any keyboard combination to my application.

Great forum.
