Because it's ugly... but apparently Policy 10.4 disagrees with me, so
ignore my request.
* If you want to express that the computer is working on something
(that is, performing a specific task, not starting or stopping a
program), we use an "ellipsis" (three dots: `...'). Note that we
don't insert spaces before or after the dots. If the task has
been completed we write `done.' and a line feed.
