The contents of such "active" text files probably contains control
characters (probably ANSI) to manipulate the terminal.  I once had
a file that when output to a VT100 terminal would draw a picture of
a Christmas tree and toy train.  The lights on the tree would blink
and the train would ride around the tree a couple of times before
the end of the file.
