Why does bindkey ^a command-name or stty intr ^- do something funny?

Z-Shell Frequently-Asked Questions
You probably have the extendedglob option set in which case ^ and # are metacharacters. ^a matches any file except one called a, so the line is interpreted as bindkey followed by a list of files. Quote the ^ with a backslash or put quotation marks around ^a.

Why does XWin.exe ignore the display depth that I pass on the command line?

Cygwin/X Frequently Asked Questions
When running in windowed mode or GDI-based fullscreen mode, XWin.exe must run the X Server at whatever display depth Windows is currently using; in these cases the display depth passed on the command line is ignored. XWin.exe only uses the display depth parameter when running in a DirectDraw-based fullscreen mode, as DirectDraw allows applications to change the display resolution and depth when running in fullscreen mode.

Why does the emote command rely on the knowledge of a language?

Shattered Kingdoms Gameplay: Frequently Asked Questions
This has long been debated, however the reason for it is because spoken languages can, in certain circumstances, prevent communication: for example, when a sprite and a human meet and try to talk, only to find they do not share a common tongue - much the same as meeting someone in real life who didn't speak your language at all. In the past, some players would abuse the 'emote' command at an impasse, in order to communicate.

Why does D2_3DFX hang on startup when I don't specify -nosound in the command-line?

The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
I am currently still investigating the cause of this problem. A common cause, however, appears to be with owners of SoundBlaster AWE32 and AWE64 cards, as well as more recent cards like the SB Live and the SB PCI 128. The best solution so far appears to be to run your SETUP program and verify your soundcard's settings. I also recommend disabling the Music Card setting here - D2_3DFX seems to not be able to handle music cards properly, unlike its unaccelerated counterpart.

Q#4.6: What command line flags does gsh(1) accept?

news.answers/apple2/GNO-faq
A#4.6: There are two. The first is "-c arg", which is supposed to allow one to specify a script on the command line. This seems to be broken, though. The second one is "-f", which tells gsh not to parse its gshrc file, nor do other initialization tasks. Think of it as "fast startup". Unfortunately, empirical tests seem to indicate that gsh is no faster with this flag than without.

Battles in Strength & Honour can be fought by armies of over one hundred soldiers, the chain of command allows players to control large armies. However, as in real life, soldiers at the bottom of the chain may not always listen to instructions from their superiors.
