Today I was doing six things at once and forgot that I was reading
a man page in one of my terminal windows (it had the "more--30%--"
prompt at the bottom of the screen).  So I started typing some
command into the Terminal window, and naturally all of the letters
were interpreted as commands for more(1), and it sort of went nuts.

All of a sudden an Edit window popped up with the man page in it!
Some more(1) command had opened up this window....

After a little experimentation and hitting "?" for documentation,
I found out that if you hit 'o' while you're in more(1), the file
that you're currently viewing will be opened in Edit.  Pretty neat.

Just thought some of you might want to know about this.
