Yup - type "911" at the first menu prompt - after that you should get a
lengthy
message about how you shouldn't mess with commands if you don't know what
you're
doing (ie "call Xerox and we'll bill the s**t out of you for a 5 minute
job")...
Type "IAcceptTheRisk" at the second prompt (case doesn't actually matter,
just
did it for readability) and you should be in to the command prompt. A "?"
shows
you the options...

Good luck!

PS mesanet.com? Anything to do with the Mesa language?
