It looks like a Russian Mafia code that you are supposed to damn well know the meaning of. You had better find the money and pay Boris as these boys don't fool aroundski.

I think also that this is time to contemplate the installed base of the 101 key IBM all-mistakes-in-the-same-plane keyboard. It enables even professional typists to type at 32 words per coffee break, and to be able to delete the entire page with one stroke upon trying to find the page up key.

Unix is bad. No question.

In order to print a ghostscript file on the world's most popular printer I only have to type

gs -sDEVICE=bjc600 -sOutputFile=\lpr filename.ps -c

It's a snap. Only took 8 hours to figure that out.

Now that I think about it those characters are the command line to get the help file for the directory command.
