very funny. 
I tried it, thinking I'd see some kind of help file or info, but it
immediately went to a black screen with just a couple of lines of text
at the top. This wasn't just a text window, it was the full screen.

How was I supposed to get back to where I was? 
Quit, exit, q, CTRL-C etc, nothing seemed to work. ALT-TAB didn't work,
it only put some ] and ^ symbols on the line.
And then the CTRL-ALT-DEL [I thought it would bring up a log in screen,
like before] rebooted the computer without any warning or any chance to
stop it.
So I lost an 8M download, which [of course] was about 90% done...
