Be careful with that one. The ^Z only works on Windows. On Linux or MacOS its ^D. In both cases its the end of file character used by the operating system, so you should check for eof not a specific character if you want to use the native quit command. To find out what any particular key emits try using the program in my "event Driven Programming" topic in my tutor., it should print out the key codes for any key...
