What were you trying to do?
	Change my EOF character to something other than C-d.


What's wrong:
	If I change my EOF character to, say C-e, the zephyr banner
	reports (incorrectly):

Type your message now.  End with control-D or a dot on a line by itself.


What should have happened:
	zwrite should have ascertained the correct EOF character before
	printing its message.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	tty(4), stty(1)
