A LightSpeed Pascal question:
In reading from standard input, from the keyboard, is there any way to
signal end of file to the program? I can't find any indication in the
manual.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I believe (and Rich will correct me if I am wrong, won't you Rich?) that you can signal the end of file the same way you would if you were working on a Unix machine (for example) by using a Cmd-D (or Control-D, to those Unix folk). I think that the reason for this is that Cmd/Ctl-D is a Pascal standard. +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + Any thing I say may be taken as + + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + + + Delphi: MACgician + + + + + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

I think I had tried that, but will try it again. I have also (so far) gotten email responses from Richard Siegel of THINK (rs4u+@andrew.cmu.edu), who suggested the Enter key, but only if using the old Mac keyboard; and from Ken Hancock (isle@eleazar.dartmouth.edu), who suggested Cmd-Shift-3. I haven't tried any of these yet, but will do so soon. Thanks to all three of you for the help! H.

Another thing to try is Cmd-. (command-period). This is the way that Turbo Pascal signals EOF. It may work for LSP as well........ Just a thought. -lee ---- Lee Atchison Hewlett Packard, Information Networks Division atchison%hpindda@hplabs.hp.com
