       When it is run, it allows  you  to  control  mason's  behavior  through  simple  keystroke
       commands.   It  can  start  and  stop  mason,  allow  you to edit the rules generated (and
       re-merge them into the currently running rule set), and change mason's settings.  It  also
       has a "console lock" setting for locking the console down if necessary.
