My apologies.  I fixed HP's implementation some months ago and only
remembered how it works, not that I had modified it, when I made the
above posting.

I have a different fix from Chris because I wanted to keep the .exrc
input the same as the interactive input (i.e., to map ctrl-D from
within vi you must precede the ctrl-D with ctrl-V so I reasoned input
from the .exrc file should also have a ctrl-V preceding the ctrl-D).
Is this line of reasoning incorrect?

Alternate fix:  In the routine mapcmd() in ex_cmdsub.c the following
appears twice:

	if (c == CTRL(v)) {
		c = getchar();

The fix is to change "getchar" to be "getcd" in both places.

Again, I apologize for my forgetfulness.
