Hi,

I ship qonk to prison inmates, who (by policy) aren't allowed access to manpages.

To help them get started with qonk, and to provide a basic backstory,
I wrote a tiny wrapper script with a paragraph of prose (attached).

It would be cool if just running qonk would show that text (or similar) initially,
and any keystoke/mouse click would get you to the current menu.
(And add a "Help" entry to the current menu.)
