OK, I thought you were joking but I tried it and it works! Apparently I am not cultured enough to recognize that from the world of video games; had to look up what it is, assuming it was a cheat code with historical significance (see [Konami Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami_Code)). I blame my ignorance on never having had an NES. Of course now I am wondering what other hidden Ignition features I am unaware of.
