As an aside, David Spiegels option 2), if it works, depends on the quirky SLIP command, since very few commands continue reprompting until a logical end.
EOF does not work because the two line buffers appear not be connected. Inserting blanks up front might work. Kind of a pain. But thanks! . .

If (3) doesn't work, it's SR time.
