I downloaded and installed it while waiting for abiword to download (40 
min on my 56K modem, at teh current rate of about 2K/sec varying between 0 
and 3.3K - I hope not much of this is clip art but if it is could that be 
a separate package for those of us who don't use clip art?).

Instead of reading the manpage I typed sqlite .help and got

It said, when I typed sqlite along:
Enter ".help" for instructions.  Typing .help while in the program does 
not work.  Where does one enter .help?

I have no free terminals (links download, shell account for mail, and the 
messed up sqlite).  How does one get out of situations like this?  I tried 
Ctrl-X, Alt-X, Ctrl-Q, Alt-Q and a few other things such as q and exit.
I may try next to read the manpage with links.


That works - links can read .gz files.  Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D is supposed to 
terminate sqlite.  Ctrl-D worked.  I had tried Ctrl-C earlier and it does 
NOT work.  Steven, can you confirm this and correct the manpage (delete 
mention of Ctrl-C).


Maybe the hd installation of BL3 should be given 4 terminals instead of 3?



I have never used SQL so it will take a while to learn enough to test 
sqlite but so far it has not crashed.


I just installed sc.tgz and it exits with q.

Abiword is 25 min down at least 10 to go.
