Resetting "trap" value in .profile

Hello everyone,

We have the following set to lock users into a a menu when their .profile is executed. Once they select a menu option, the user is at the prompt. The menu is used to setup environment variables.

# Trap users into custom menu
trap "" 2

This disables ctrl+C. How do I reset trap to re-enable ctrl+C after the menu is executed?
If at first you don't succeed, change the rules!
