	vi doesn't tell you much either. I am forever typing
:rsomefile, wondering for an instant why it didn't show up and
then realizing I forgot to hit Escape or Control-C to get back
to Command mode. It's another one of those things that, in the
over all scheme of things, is not particularly distressing but
just something to keep in mind.

	I hope I don't make anybody mad when I say that in the
almost 30 years I have been involved with computing, the UNIX
world has made me truly optimistic about accessibility because
it brings it closer to being freely available to everyone than
any other model I have seen. It just all works so much better
than it used to.
