+## FAQ
+
+### Why is my terminal is spitting out junk when I run the repl?
+
+Make sure your terminal supports ANSI escape codes. Most modern terminals will
+support these, but some older terminals, windows consoles, or embedded terminals
+will not. If your terminal does not support ANSI escape codes, run the repl with
+the `-n` flag, which disables color output. You can also try the `-s` if further issues
+ensue.
