And a million graphic designers would reply that Gimp doesn't have Pantone 
colors, and probably never will.  
It's useless for a lot of people.

Re: [newbie] simple command line question

When I'm using bash, I sometimes hit the ' (comma) key 

Backquote.  Comma's the , key. :-)  Basically it's waiting for another one, so 
it can read the stuff between 
them.  It's for command substitution, if you want to fill in stuff in a line:

$ echo There's `ls|wc -l` files in this dir.

 instead of enter and then get brought into a loop I can't get out of. I imagine this 
is some sort 
of feature that would allow you to enter extra long command sequences but the 
enter key does not activate the command, nor can I find anyway to get out 
of the loop.

Try Ctrl-D (to end it) or Ctrl-C (to cancel it).  You probably want Ctrl-C, 
but you'll see the other elsewhere, like 
when you use mail or other command-line kinda programs.  I remember getting stuck in 
cat for a while, like you did. 
:-)  Happens to everybody at some point, I'm sure.

While I hate to respond to something that will undoubtedly generate 11,000 
other heated responses, let me save you some lawyers' fees:

If you don't want your code to be GPL'd, don't steal GPL'd code.

How Microsoft can turn that into a 20-page document, I'm still trying to 
figure out.
