Hi there...
A question that came up the other day while discussing Macintosh keyboards:
How does onegenerate an EOF signal from the various types of Mac keyboards?
I know the old (really old) keyboard uses the Enter key, and someone said
the Mac II uses the Control-C combination.
If the various users of different flavors of Mac would send me Email, I'd
gladly post a summary for the common knowledge.
Thanks!

The keyboard on a Macintosh generates keyboard events, rather than acting as a file, as terminals do on Unix. Thus, the question of which character generates an EOF is dependent on the IO package you are talking about. For example, MPW uses Command-Enter for EOF, Macintosh Pascal (the interpreted product created by Think for Apple) uses the Enter key for EOF, and I use Control-D for EOF when using a terminal program with our VAX. -- Darin Adler, Apple Computer AppleLink:Adler4 UUCP: {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!darin CSNET: darin@Apple.com
