Hi Sam! Thank you for using Shelljam. This is my first Open Source
project and I am very excited about having users!

Now why could that be... Which operating system are you using?

Please see the on-line manual; you're probably talking about the
looks-like-a-crash-but-is-safe window. It's a stub for until I get round
to coding a proper UI. The program is designed to take full control of
the keyboard and mouse so you don't accidentally switch tasks while
playing. A key combination is used for quitting that is unlikely to be
hit accidentally: Press and hold the ESC key, then press the return key.

I'm happy you got it to run!

Carlo
