Oh, way cool. I was wow-ed when I found Shift-PgUp, Shift-PgDn! :)

. o O ( Now I just need to find the easter egg, the DOOM-like corridor, that
has all the credits and faces of the Linux Community on the wall.
See http://www.halcyon.com/cerelli/easter.htm if you don't
know what I'm talking about. Now _that'd_ be amazing. It'd
