Anyway, I'm talking about what one sees at the top of the screen, when
not at the top of a page, and in emacs:
Next: uniq invocation, Up: Operating on sorted files

I see, adding "(coreutils)sort invocation" to the front of the
line. Sounds good, and there should be enough room too.

Well for we who have ESC s welded into our heads due to being born
before the ALT button, there is no gain.
