There currently isn't a way. I should probably fix that!

I recently had a look at DMDScript 1.06 [standalone version] and noticed
that this situation still exists. Would it be possible to remedy this for
the next release ?

For example, might it not be useful to return 'null' on EOF, thus allowing
this sort of construct:

    var line = readln();

    while (line != null)
    {
         ...
         line = readln();
    }

It would certainly enhance the utility of what appears to be quite a fine
product.

Cheers,
