For anyone who tried Ctrl+D on Windows and found they couldn't properly send the EOF to finish adding the entry, try using Ctrl+Z. You will probably also have to press Enter afterwards (you'll probably see a ^Z printed in the command prompt, but that won't be included in the entry text).
Ctrl+D on Windows outputs a nice little diamond character when you view the entry in the database. Nice, but not so helpful!

I'm surprised that ctrl-d doesn't send an EOL on Windows cmd.exe. I wonder if it does in other Windows terminals?

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsAlso, not sure of the exact cause, but using PuTTY on WIndows to connect to my Raspberry Pi and run the script, I found I had to press Ctrl+D twice to get it to send the EOF and stop editing the entry. Weird!
