Applied to the first process displayed, these commands will show
that task's full (potentially wrapped) information.
Such data will be displayed in a separate window at the bottom of
the screen.
Keying the same command a second time removes that separate window
as does the death of the targeted task.
Keying a different Ctrl combination, while one is already active,
immediately transitions to the new information.
Notable among these provisions is the Ctrl+V (environment) command.
Its output can be extensive and not easily read when line wrapped.
A more readable version can be achieved with an `Inspect' entry
in the rcfile like the following.
