- and cat > file puts an extra blank line at the top, 

- and terminating a ported Unix program with ^D leaves the character
in the input buffer, so that you need to backspace to answer
confirmation questions. Er, that wasn't clear ... effect like this:

> command
output
> command

> ^D
save workspace (y/n/c)? *

with '*' being the caret character that indicates ^D

In the same vein:
> command

> command

> q()
save workspace (y/n/c)?
save workspace (y/n/c)?

- as if an extra CR is getting sent. Using the readline library, by
the way.
