Hello!
This is just some more text to make this file really long.
There
is
just
one
word
per
line
here
so
this
file
can
be
very
very
long
so
that
you
can
see
how
some
programs
scroll
longer
files.
Now here is the last line of the file!
(END)
instead of
treehouse ~ $
What caused this and how can I change it?

4,007 PointsThanks for your response. My apologies I attempted to type [q] to get back to the normal console, it didn't work. When I typed [q] it didn't appear on the screen.
