Some years ago, I took a job at a mostly-Unix shop, where the default .profile supplied with every new account contained stty eof ^Z ... apparently, a sysadmin had liked the DOS convention better than the Unix one, and then made it the default for everybody. It often took people more than 2 seconds to learn to use ^Z where they expected ^D to work (not to mention to learn why they couldn't suspend). I guess I only mention that to reinforce the point that some environments have customizations you wouldn't expect, and assumptions about how obvious something is can be thrown off by a variety of things. -Chap
