Thank you Eric for this quick answer. Are you sure of your syntax. I added the above 3 lines to my ~/.bash_profile. CTRL-S still results in inactivation of input in a Mintty bash session with the bonus that CTRL-Q no longer cures the situation. The only way out was to kill the window with the Task Manager.
