^D is a feature of the tty driver. <nl><ctrl-d> and <ctrl-d><ctrl-d>
both cause EOF on a tty. Zwrite is not at fault here. Use the lnext
character (probably ^V) if you really want ^D in a message.

System name: w20-575-93
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.0F
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Use zwrite.
What's wrong:
zwrite says "Type your message now. End with control-D or a dot on a
line by itself." But when I type two consecutive control-D's (not at
the beginning of a line), zwrite acts as if I'm done typing, and sends
off the message as is.
What should have happened:
I should be able to type as many control-D's as I want without having
the message sent, as long as they don't occur at the beginning of a
line.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
zwrite(1)
