That confirmation screen bit me the other Sunday...

I wondered how come the system hadn't come up an hour after I issued
the PWRDWNSYS.

(I have since added the envvar to supress it...)

Many times.
Thank G-D for the Do you really want to do this message.
I remember on the early S/38 when there was *no* warning message.

Has anybody ever meant to put a "5" on a member, and put a "4" on it by
mistake?

Kind of makes you jump, when you get the "Do you really want to delete
xxxxx?" confirmation screen, don't it?
