And I would do this exactly the same way, except that the tag
<programlisting> would rather be a <screen>. Also, the "prompt"
would be an entity like <prompt>[user@machine ~/dir]$</prompt>
for frequent usage :-)

Controversy is wasteful, but lays things out, shows where people stand,
(or refuse to), is a necessary yardstick of opinion, and is, heavenly
compared to the alternative of being a helpless silent passive tool of
anybody loud and obnoxious who knows how to bark at some sheep. - Alfie
