This means you miscompiled ispell.  Ispell is responsible for restoring
the terminal permissions to what it found them on entry.  Elm may have
to get defensive about this, but I do know it is possible to compile
ispell on Ultrix's to work correctly.

The ^D means end of job to most batch based postscript interpreters.
At leasy my printer requires it, and since its my software that makes
up the file, the file will contain what is needed for my printer :-).
