Well, on NT, both ^Z and ^D work for me in both the "DOS" Command Prompt window
and in the Cgwin B20 bash window. However, in both cases, _nothing_ happens in
any of these 4 cases until _after_ I follow up the ^Z or ^D with a press of the
Enter key.

And maybe this is why--I was expecting the "normal" UNIX tty settings, but here
is what I had by default:

These computer gadgets would be wonderful if it weren't for software.... :-)
