@Potatoswatter yes (fun, I didn't know that myself), but I specifically want to abort here. When sending ^D^D I still get “the junk” echoed…

| May 30, 2014 at 22:06 | comment | added | mirabilos | @AaronHall: that will not work if there's already something on the line. Plus, we want to abort it, not end it ;-) But yes, in the normal case you're right. But this is a special case. | |
