After getting out with Control-C (just Control-C), type "nvstore" at the
ok prompt.  Believe it or not, an emacs-style editor is required by
IEEE-1275.  Silly me, I made SmartFirmware's full-screen before
catching on to the one-line approach. :)

Some other commands that are useful include "nvquit" to discard the
contents of the edit buffer, "nvrun" to execute the buffer, "nvalias"
and "nvunalias" to automatically add/remove device aliases from nvramrc.

Hope this helps.
