Charon is the guy who takes the dead across the river Styx to
the land of the dead (you remember the story).  It can be very
convenient to control-c out of a -more- when you suspect you
are going to die if you hit return...you don't get that 10%
taken away.  It's a good thing you DID quit when you did, or you
wouldda been a dead duck.
