Thanks Guy,
i just found that there's even a message sent to the standard output saying
"(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)"
the problem was that i was running 'compile' from emacs instead of from a shell and never saw this message at all.
Ctrl-D and Ctrl-Z both don't work(i'm on ms windows). i don't know why.
Neither do they work on cygwin. so now i'm testing the script by creating a file with the input and redirecting standard input to that file.
