I eat my words in regard to command parsing.  Steve was right in that
if you try a regular console instead of an xterm that it will show the
help output.

Chris,

Try switching to a regular console with the following key sequence,
log in and then try running piano from there:
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+1

I still couldn't get the keyboard shortcuts to give any visual feedback however.
