 ./translate shell/*.mu
 qemu-system-i386 disk.img
 ```

+You can type in expressions, hit `ctrl-s` to see their results, and hit `Tab`
+to focus on the `...` below and browse how the results were computed. [Here's
+a demo.](https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/105790894303047592) The bottom of

+Mu computer at the moment).

+*Known issues*
+
+* There's no way to save to disk.
+
+* Don't press keys too quickly (such as by holding down a key). The Mu
+  computer will crash (and often Qemu will segfault).
