	OK. I got a little bit of somewhat cryptic info about vi, and 
page after page about the GPL or the children in Uganda. Then it came to 
a dead end, afaict -- a screen blank except for a line of some character 
down the side in blue.

	^C got me a line saying to type ":quit" to get out of the 
remaining featureless page.

	I did, and it did -- i.e., gave me my prompt back.

	This is interaction?? Or there's something there that you have to 
already know vi to see??

	PS: I tried it again, to see what the blue margin was. This time 
it asked me if I wanted to see all 205 possibilities. I told it no.

	That's qith a space between "vi" and the tab. Without the space, 
it does nothing, afaict. Does that mean "You had your chance; now to hell 
with you"?
