Good man, Paul - there is indeed a "/" key with "|" as its upper case. I 
hadn't realised they were the same. However, in this terminal anyway, 
the command only works WITHOUT the "|", and it yields

dmesg [-c][-n level][-s bufsize]

WITH the "|" character inserted, it yields no response at all, it just 
posts another input prompt, like what you see when you first open the 
terminal.
