The documentation of the Python console behaviour is not correct
anymore for Python 2.4.1. At least for the Win2K system I'm working on
'Ctrl-Z' does not shut down the console but 'Ctrl-D' etc.
The Python interpreter tells me instead:
>>> quit
'Use Ctrl-Z plus Return to exit.'
Nah, 'Ctrl-Z' is now undo :-)
Side remark: IDLE closes the console either with Ctrl-D or Ctrl-Q. But
IDLEs configure dialog window showing the key combinations is so tight
and nothing is recognizable without scrolling back and forth that it is
discouring to use it at all ;)
IPython closes with 'Ctrl-D'. Thanks to IPython I also determined this
as the correct shutdown keys for Python too.
