                      2: You may have been wondering what to do in
                      3: case Unix prints faster than you can read.
                      4: It is often helpful to suspend Unix
                      5: output temporarily in order to read it,
                      6: and then restart it to let more output print.
                      7: 
                      8: On Unix a ^S "suspends" output printing temporarily,
                      9: and a ^Q "quits suspension" of output, that is,
                     10: it restarts printing.  ^S, or "control-s", is entered
                     11: by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the letter 's'
                     12: (and similarly for ^Q).  Neither of these
                     13: characters appear on your terminal,
                     14: so as not to be confused with the real output.
                     15: 
                     16: There is a file in this directory called "zip".
                     17: Print its contents while controlling the output
                     18: with ^S and ^Q, and then do what it says.
                     19: #create zip
                     20: This
                     21: is
                     22: a
                     23: file

                     26: which

                     29: rather
                     30: quickly.
                     31: You
                     32: were
                     33: asked
                     34: to
