No, I said that the protagonist resembles Richard Pryor. The scenes and plot details that I remember are: 1) Just after leaving jail he sees a poster "Jesus Saves" or the like. 2) He begins working in a data processing center with mainframes, as a programmer, I think. 3) Certain day he notices that a hatch with a red light on top of the mainframe is open and a coffee pot is there for heating. With that hatch open the machine runs in an unprotected state. He then discovers that the janitor learned how to open the hatch in a non-conventional way by hitting the side of the machine with a bucket. 4) He starts using that weakness to do things...
