BUGS:
"file" on a null file has a "Floating exception" and core dumps

If elvis or term crashs they are left in a mode (raw??) that 
makes the terminal useless.

Some tasks that are going to the back ground (ie cron) leave no name in the
command column when F1 is pressed.

tset doesn't work (below is my ttytype file)
mx	tty0
hp	tty1
vt100 	tty2


ps doesn't work because it can't find the offset the get the info
from the kernel
IT would be a good idea the have a table in the kernel of locations of 
important routines (a concept like a vector table) so that 
ps and others (uptime, boot programs) can work from os revision to
revision.

NOTES:

It would be a good idea if term used "~." instead of "@" or "Ou" to 
escape then it could be called "cu" and be nonsystem dependant

The more traditional man page system permits easier updating 
and addition to entries(which is needed).
