<div>And it is not just for diagnostics or advanced uses. A
number of basic scripts or instructions about how to use or

If the concern is that children might not be prepared to use
it, or might somehow 'misuse' it, it would be better to
provide more guidance and information with the activity [for
instance: ship Man pages, include a welcome message that
guides people to them, and to a txt version of "Intro to the
Command Line"]. </div>

Can you explain what is the use case of this
activity you are proposing?<br>
The terminal is ok, when you know what to do, is
waiting for you.<br>
Why do you think there are a wrong message here?<br>

The terminal-application goes to root with-out any

I think this is why it is not selected as a favorite.
