[fpc-pascal]Program Example19; the Eoln function

[Morten Gulbrandsen]

Program Example19;

    { Program to demonstrate the Eoln function. }

    begin
      { This program waits for keyboard input. }
      { It will print True when an empty line is put in,
        and false when you type a non-empty line.
        It will only stop when you press enter.}
      While not Eoln do
        Writeln (eoln);
    end.

only Ctrl + c can stop this madness.

If I start with a letter. 
a  cr

Do I start with cr, then 
it stops,  but it never prints true,  why ?

This is an example from the FreePascal documentation.

In the file ref.pdf   page 134 it says in the text.
