[Coco] Color Computer 3 Easter Eggs

[L. Curtis Boyle]

    The CLS trick also applies to OS-9 Level II (and NitrOS9 as well): when  
you first fire up a new SCF device (window, terminal), and you hit  
<CTRL>-<A>, you get some names as well ( <SHIFT>-<RIGHT ARROW> on NItros9)  
of some of the programmers. When we did Nitros9 1.x, we replaced the  
Microware names with ours, and I think Alan may have changed it again  
later.
