Actually, the UNIX signal handling is not that different from MPE's.
You just need to write your signal handling procedure, and then arm it
using a signal() call (I believe the syntax is signal(int sig_number,
int * func_pointer).

Signal handling is one area where the various unixes went off in
different directions, and POSIX decided that both BSD and AT&T variants
were wrong and went yet a third direction.  So you'll need to find the
specifics based on exactly what flavor you're implementing.
