[Hugs-users] hugs, xterm and cygwin

Does anyone know a trick for exiting hugs when it's
running in an xterm window in cygwin?  Winhugs
doesn't respond to Unix-style eof (ctl-D) and xterm
doesn't support DOS-style eof (ctl-Z).  A few stty
hacks that I tried didn't help.

Why xterm? Because it has screen-editing capability,
which plain cygwin windows lack.  Not being able to
quit is a small, yet nuisancy, price for this benefit.
