Personally, I prefer the term `suspending'.  To me, to stop means to
terminate - either way, it's just a matter of semantics.  It's a good
thing this quiz doesn't count for anything :)

My least favorite question was -

   2. Which of the following could not be used to manipulate a text file?
              sed vi grep awk 

Of course they can all be used to manipulate a text file.  Duh!
(but they seem to think the correct answer is `grep'.)
