That's the theory, but the reality is a bit more complex. If sqlplus is
sitting at an ACCEPT prompt, for example, then ctrl-C will kill it rather
than simply terminating the script (as it does on all other platforms I'm
familiar with). There are plenty of other scenarios as well.
Since Windows maps ctrl-C to Copy for non-console programs, it's
unfortunately quite easy to input it by mistake. Fortunately, that's fairly
benign in any other environment (Linux/Unix, or sqlplusw.exe on Windows).
