So where does the 'Use quit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit' message come from? If it has code to output that message, which means it knows exactly what the user wants, why not just make that code do what the user wanted in the first place? The only reason I can honestly conceive of is spite. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
