Re: "finger" filtering out control characters.

This is because of the potential security problem of receiving random
data on a "smart" terminal.  Many smart terminals have a control
sequence that lets you change the "answerback" string, and another
sequence that will tell the terminal to send that string, as if it
were typed.  So a malicious person could put in his ".plan" file
something that tells your terminal to, say, remove all your files.
