[Cin] Main.C - two options undocumented in usage?

[Phyllis Smith]

Interesting! but I thought it was mostly just for giving presentations and
to watch recorded TV programs.  I did learn something about the android
remote control the other day, if you use the power button on the remote
control, it powers off the computer -- that was a big OOPS!

There is only 1 problem with the "saving" operation -- you have to actually
remember to do the save.  The user who panicked the other day, never used
the "save" function.
