   It's been a long time since I maybe should have known how to end input   
   to stdin.   
      
   My first venture with pgp was on a MicroVAX utilizing one of the BSD   
   variants. I flip-flopped between a handful of shells.  I did a lot of   
   command line operations all the time. I used pgp and entered messages   
   right at terminal quite bit.  ^D was probably second-nature, but I don't   
   remember that detail.   
      
   I've never used the DOS/Win implementations of gpg/pgp before either.   
      
   DOS needs to do things differently.   
      
   But it seems to me that if gpg is launched without any parameters, it   
   should output a message "Missing options" or something like that and   
   then terminate.   
      
   When it detects valid parameters/options, and spits out:   
      
    gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...   
      
   ...it should also include something like "When finished with your   
   message, enter ^Z" to complete.
