The reason we did this is that some beginners made two windows and
didn't understand why the screen was split. They also did not
understand how to get "out" of that "mode". So we set up ESC ESC ESC
to "get you out of anything" in Emacs, including the split screen.
Jidanni, we could add an option to tell ESC ESC ESC not to mess with
the window layout, for users who do know the C-x 1 command.
