Apparently, he added some as the day progressed…that would explain why echo never worked when I tried it. ---

I saw it on the day (figured, if any site would be in the April Foolery mode, it’d be xkcd, especially since they aren’t updating the comic that day), but, having forgotten all the cool things I could do with unix (my last unix command was typed about 15 years ago) and the like I didn’t use the interface to its full potential. :sniff: ---
