Quickie request: the next time "rn" gets updated or modified, could the
programmer please change the current process that now echoes
"Unnecessary CR ignored" and make a CR do the same thing as a "space"
would do at that point in the process? It is more common to press a CR
to mean "go on and continue" than it is to press "space", in most
user-interfaces, so it is not unlikely for users to hit CR instead of
space. It seems a waste of everyone's effort for the program to read
that CR and not just act on it, but instead echo back that message. It
would be just as easy as doing that echo to just read it as "space" instead.

It's not major, but it is a minor annoyance.
