HI, y'all.  I just downloaded the ST version of TEX from the ftp server at
clio (35.195.16.4).  After getting lplain.tex, hyphen.tex, lfonts.tex, and
latex.tex (plus about 47 .tfm files) from my local un*x machine, I ran
the INITEX.TTP program to produce LPLAIN.FMT.  Everything goes fine until
it hits the end of all the input files at which time it prints '*' prompt
on my screen and waits for me to type something.  I've tried '\bye', '\end',
'\dump', all to no avail.  It either doesn't understand my command or complains
of stack overflow.

Question: what do I type in response to the final prompt?

Another ?: has anyone successfully built an LPLAIN.FMT this way on a 1Meg
		1040ST ?

Help me, please.

Thanks.
