Confusion here: Stephen Steir is using "my" make program; that is, the
one by "caret@fairlight.OZ" which I ported to the Amiga.  I added the
feature to use control-D to tell make to quit after whatever it is
doing at the moment, while control-C, as usual, aborts the compile or
whatever in progress.  However, since Stephen reports that other
programs behave the same way, it sounds like a bug in Z: it is
trapping but not clearing the control-D signal, so whatever runs next
sees this signal set and acts accordingly. 
   I will double-check my code and make sure I clear the control-D
signal on startup.  This will clear up the problem in make's case.
