I think "type the @code{EOF} character" is better.
Also, please use @kbd{Ctrl-D}. Finally, I think "on the empty prompt"
is redundant (and may even be incorrect -- doesn't it work even on a
non-empty line?).

I think the second sentence should begin on a new line. Don't you get
that line truncated in "apropos" output?
OK with those changes.
