if you notice, DJB is VERY careful about where he uses the # prompt and $
prompt in the documentation for this reason. I agree that many don't pay
any attention to which prompt he's using in the documentation when they go
to repeat it, so maybe it should be annotated, or maybe they should learn
to read the documentation carefully with an eye to the idiosyncrasies (sp?)
of unix.
