the latter would, in fact, be the expected behavior.
if you want to change this, you would have to
program a "signal handler" that traps this signal
and then does something meaningful. to do this
in the middle of script execution would make
VMD return to a somewhat undefined state. i am
not sure if this would be good.

a script is _not_ a child process. you would have to
write your script in a way that it is interruptible, i.e. that
it checks the keyboard for input and that it runs the
event handler to trap this input.
