especially in representations of the command line. For example,

something else, and to display general files, such as configuration
files. When necessary for clarity's sake, these examples or figures
will be enclosed in thin boxes.
<P>
<DT><STRONG><TT>Key</TT></STRONG>
<DD> Represents a key to press. You will often see it
in this form:
<BLOCKQUOTE> Press <TT>Return</TT> to continue.</BLOCKQUOTE>
