It would be nice if the wxGUI could dump a friendly little message to the
console telling the user how to restart it. I for one keep forgetting the
right command name ...

Comment (by benducke):

This would require people to read information first, then use the
software, then recall what they memorized. Not very likely in many
scenarios :wink:
At least in my case, wxPython also dumps a lot of error/warning messages
on the console, pretty much right after startup, so I never really get to
see this helpful note.

I think current message

{{{

}}}

is sufficient.

I'd be inclined to close this as 'wontfix'
