The options are arranged in alphabetical order, and each is described in a separate section.  Common error messages associated with an option appear at the end of the option description.


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.
