-1, I think the current message is sufficient. It makes no sense to input .exit after a CTRL-C, when one can just .exit without the preceding keypress. |

Wow, I learned something today. But I would rephrase "use" to something like "type". The first impression I had when reading "use .exit" was that it would mean "use the process.exit method".

When the user hits `^C` in the REPL show more info about `.exit`. The idea was to give more info to the user when they hit ^C. Current version just displays `(^C again to quit)` and most of the users are not aware of the `.exit` command that would Exit the repl.

@jasnell Looks fine now? |
|
Yes perfect. Thank you! |
