[Sunhelp] stop A on non-Sun keyboard

[Dennis L. Lund]

Try using cntl+\ then b

That is how our remote console works to our servers.

	cntl+\
	b	#takes the server to the "ok" prompt
	
	cntl+\
	c	#takes you back to the console server

You may also want to look at the man page for "tip".  
It depends on how you are accessing the remote server.
