Who cares about the startup code?  You don't meant to say that someone 
would actually write a program that just puts the character in the middle 
of a screen and exits, do you?  Who would need a ridiculous toy program 
like that?  That's even less useful than the proverbial hello world.

I assumed we were talking about the code to do that as part of a larger 
program.
