Have you ever had one of those days when you should have stayed in bed? Here I am, a guy using Unix variants just about every day for the last, oh, 6 years......and I kid you not, using ctrl-s and ctrl-q NEVER occured to me. Boy.... Yes, this is to be run on a unix box, so that solution works perfectly  <slaps forehead>
Sorry to waste your time guys, I feel pretty dumb right now. I should probably take a nap. My apologies for my oversight :-(
