Q doesn't work because it doesn't make sense to "quit" something you broke
into on the fly.  The command is "r" for "resume".

Why doesn't the package say this?  Because the command is in the release notes,
and when I was asked to approve them for shipment, I wouldn't, because they
talked about things they shouldn't have and nobody had time to clean them up,
so they went without them.  The changes since the manual are really minor, and
the manual on the whole is very good.  Yes, there are more commands in there
than the manual covers, but being beta software, they usually don't work.
