-    * calc -i ignores quit binding or EOF input in some cases.  For example:

-	echo 'define f(x) { ' > myfile
-	calc -i read myfile
-	"./myfile", line 2: End-of-file in function body

-      At this point, calc will re-prompt if you give it an EOF, or

     Fixed the help/custom_cal, help/new_custom, and help/copy files so
     that they contain the correct contents instead of the 'usage' file.
 
+    Fixed problem with loss of bindings when .calc -i args runs into
+    an error while processing 'args' and drops into interactive mode
+    without the terminal bindings being set.
+
     Fixed misc compiler warnings.
