control-c in sqlplus on Windows leaves me at C:> prompt

737979Jan 13 2010 — edited Aug 12 2010
An annoying "feature" of the command line version of SQL*Plus (sqlplus.exe not sqlplusw.exe) is that a control-c will cause the program to abort.
If I set pause on and want to break out of the execution of the query, i end up aborting my sqlplus session.
On unix, a control-c (break) will simply abort the current command, not the program.
Does anyone know a windows work-around or setting to avoid this program exiting "feature".
