Cntl-D when read as input means EOF. The shell reads commands until it
reaches the end of the shell script, or the end of user input, and then
exits. Cntl-D thus behaves similar to exit or logout.
[ EOF really is a state of mind, not a character. ]

Your shell will exit.

Nope. Your terminal window will notice the child shell process go
away, and will do the same thing.

These aren't specific to csh, but see "stty -a".
