From: Tomas G. Rokicki <ROKICKI@su-sushi.arpa> Just another note to beg that control-backslash be fixed in the next release. As it is currently set up, it sends a new line and THEN EOF, even after a carriage return. Thus, a program which gets input from the terminal will always see an empty line before EOF, which does not make for graceful exits. I tried to get around this with a WaitForChar() call after each line, but EOF is not considered a character, so WaitForChar() will not signal it. It's a bit much to require me to handle my I/O with RAW: and duplicate all of the CON: editing facilities, just to be able to trap EOF in a reasonable manner. Anyone out there have a simple work-around? -tom -------
