Hello -

	Ultrix-32 (v. 2.4)'s Berkeley-like csh (/usr/new/csh, to be
more precise) has a pretty weird (I think) effect in the name of file-
name completion.

	What it does is to assign an additonal character to EOF.  (Escape),
so that stty everything yields:

							eof
							^D/^[

This is anything but desirable, since unlike the normal csh, ESCAPE is
treated specially outside the command line.  (example. trying to use the
escape key in another program yields EOF)

	I'm not going to bother asking whose idea this was.  What I would
like to know is whether or not stty will let me clear this extra character.
typing "stty eof ^D" sets the first EOF, but doesn't clear the second.
"stty eof ^d^@" doesn't seem to do it either.

	Ideas?  Thanx...
