I think the operative phrase is "Never Mind".  It seems that I got into the 
habit of using CNTRL X as the character I typed to ZCPR page mode TYPE command.
 It was innocent.  Well it seems that CP/M 3 echos the character that you type.
 So by typing a CONTROL X it echoed CNTROL X and pumpkined my terminal. (by 
listening to football announcers I have learned that the Verbs built around 
DEFEND have all been worn out.  DEFENCE has been drafted as the new replacement
VERB and all the new verbs like defenced and defences are now being used.  I 
hope that this VERB wears out soon as well.  But anyway I thought I would 
introduce a verb a day and PUMPKINED is my first)
