	I tried the above on the command line but it didn't work.  Maybe
it's something that must be run from a shell.  No, I remember doing it
interactively before.

	BTW, to get the control character on the command line (and in vi
and many other editors) you type "Ctrl-v".  So, to get the two control
characters in the above commands you'd type "Ctrl-v Esc" and "Ctrl-v
Ctrl-g" respectively.
