Funny behavior in Serial Port

I am trying to have my 8051 interrupt on a serial port and jump to an ISR. I have the serial port setup and the interrupt works...sort of....

The problem I have is that I want to use 0x03 (ctrl-c) as my user interrupt. For some reason, the serial window will not give me a RI when I hit CTRL-C....Any normal character for example "c" works fine and I get a recieve interrupt...

Why will the Serial Window not give me an RI when I type in Ctrl-C?

    That makes it sound even more likely that uVision is swallowing it!

    When you use PC tools, things like this are just a check box - maybe someone accidentally changed the setting?
    Or maybe Keil updated their MSVC and the default changed from "pass" to "trap"
    Or...
