 ^D means ... ^C means ... 
 come on, guys. 
 These are ASCII codes: some of them actually DO have real meanings.

  "^C" - 003  ETX  ( End of Text )
  "^D" - 004  EOT  ( End of Transmission ) 

   Just like "^G" 007 BEL means BELL !

   I don't know how DEC got "^Z" 032 SUB (Substitute) to be their 
   convertion for EOF. ( The codes had their origin in data Transmission,
   not storag.  Still, there was "^\" 034 FS (File Separator) available.) 

   At least we can get the discussion back to a.f.c ! 

   Who knows something about the history of ASCII ?
