PLEASE give us a list of common pitfalls... getting out of MAN was also one of the first big bugbears I came across, and it took me a while to find out about ctrl-C as well! (then I went on to try Vi, but lets not even go there!).
As an undergrad I had the "joy" of using some logic programming software (the trauma beiing far too great for me to remember the name!!) which was programmed by "asserting" statements. Statements it recognised were responded to by "yes" and those it did not by "no". Attempting to get out of it would have a dialogue like:
quit no exit no terminate no bye no ^c no ^Z $ ps -a 1234 9998 $ kill 1234
