7.0;eef (edit_end_of_file) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/11
EEF (EDIT_END_OF_FILE) *DM* -- Insert end-of-file mark.
usage: eef


FORMAT

  EEF


  The EEF command inserts a stream end-of-file mark (EOF) in the pad.
  If the line containing the cursor is empty, the end-of-file mark is
  written on that line.   Otherwise, the end-of-file mark is inserted
  following the current line.

  By default, CTRL/Z executes the EEF command.

  It is a common (although not universal) convention for programs to
  terminate execution and return to the process which called them when
  they receive an EOF on their standard input stream.  The command Shell
  is such a program.  When the top-level program in a process (usually
  /COM/SH) returns, the process stops and all of its streams are closed.
  The Display Manager then closes the Shell's process input pad and
  window, and closes the transcript pad.  Whether or not the transcript
  window also disappears depends on the setting of its auto-close mode
  (type HELP WC for details).  If auto-close is disabled (the default
  condition), then you must manually delete any windows associated with
  the closed transcript pad by using the DM command WC -Q, or CTRL/N.
