CTRL-D not working?!

I thought CTRL-Z was end-of-file on Bill's O/S (Windows and/or MSDOS).
CTRL-D serves that function on Unix type boxes.

Subject: CTRL-D not working?!


I downloaded GnuPG today and have started using it.  I'm able to work
with files alright but if I try to use stdin, CTRL-D is ignored by gpg!
I can't terminate the input!

I'm running on WinXP Pro, and I've tried this in a command window as
well as in a cygwin window, same results.  CTRL-D works fine for
anything else I try, like cat, etc.

I feel like something ridiculous is going on here... I've checked the
mailing list archives, no one else seems to have had this problem... any
suggestions?

Thanks.
