Title: Added line to startup message to help new users get past zoned-out buffer

There've been a couple of comments on the emacs-live mailing list about not knowing what to do when presented with a wacky buffer full of flickering text (I admit to being somewhat nonplussed by it myself the first time I saw it, but more in the "Whoa, I didn't know Emacs could do that! Brilliant!" kind of way rather than the "What is this I don't even--?!" way). I added a line to the message encouraging them to press a key; hopefully that will help make it a little more clear that it's just part of the welcome and that they won't have to do all of their Overtone/Clojure/Whatever hacking with crazy, jittery characters.
