Heh. ^O for discarding output goes back to TOPS-10 if not one of the
PDP-8 OSs.  Thanks for the tip with printf.  STeve

BTW: an easy (well, for me...) way to get the screen back to normal is,
either:

1) echo ctrl-o (^o) somehow - for some reason, ^O is mapped to discard
under OpenBSD, which makes it extremely difficult to type.  "printf
\\017" does the trick, if you've got it in your path.
