Aha!  The great kre finally makes a mistake!  I've been waiting
for this for a long time . . . :-)  ``ZZ'' is exactly equivalent
to ``:x'' (in fact it puts an ``x'' command into glob and goes to
doinit, which amounts to pretending the user typed ``:x'').

Seriously, though, the rest of what he said is correct; ``ZZ''
is not intended to be equivalent to ``:wq''.
