Oh No!  It's the "any" key error! Didn't they KNOW the example should
be foobar-l? -- Mary Schweitzer

[Better explain that one in case there's anyone here who doesn't
already know it:  the instructions for many commands used to say,
"strike any key when ready".  But the tech assistance people used
to get too many calls from people who couldn't find the "any" key,
so now the instructions more frequently read, "strike the space bar"
or "strike the return key" when ready. ...)
