Note that pressing the escape (Esc) key will return you to the last level that you were at. Pressing control-C (holding the Ctrl key and then C key simultaneously) will always return you to the main Init prompt. Note that pressing control-C may interrupt processes before they complete. If you want to avoid this, do not press control-C unless you are at a prompt.
