    It's been too long since I've used it, so I've forgotten the
details, but DEC database/query system was sensitive to the term
"wombat".  When commanded to "describe wombat", you'd get a paragraph or
two about the lovely little critter. 

    This was also a supported feature, since when DEC made graphics
terminals available, the "show wombat" command would display a (crude
but recognizable) picture of a wombat.

    As I say, it's been a while - check with a current DEC-type for
the appropriate details.
