Whenever I type the @ sign like for example when using a proxy ftp server, The system forces the cursor to jump to a new line. I know it has something to do with the terminal settings.
How can I get this to stop and more importantly, how can I modify my profile to set this up whenever I login?
Thanks,

These two are unusual:
Jim Mcnamara has diagnosed the problem. The "@" key causes a KILL signal.
The values are so unusual that it is worth checking /etc/profile and your .profile file for erroneous "stty" statement(s).
This is really a local issue and depends on the type of terminal you have and the keymapping expected by your application. More normal settings for say a DEC vt220 emulator would be:
stty intr "^c"
stty kill "^u"
