- Well, considering some of the winner questions posed to the net in the
- past, yes, smileys ARE necessary. I honestly thought this was a serious
- question from someone who had a problem easily solvable had he read the
- manual.
-
- Also considering the number of people who believed, as I did, that this
- was a serious question, the damn thing should have been RINGED in
- smilies :)
-
- :q!
- exit
- done
- /s
- Oh hell! How do I get out of this damn editor?
-
- shutdown -y -g0 (That oughtta do it)
