        !            10: The object of Boggle (TM Parker Bros.) is to find, within 3 minutes, as
        !            11: many words as possible in a 4 by 4 grid of letters.
        !            12: Words may be formed from any sequence of 3 or more adjacent letters
        !            13: in the grid.  The letters may join horizontally, vertically,
        !            14: or diagonally.  However, no position in the grid may be used
        !            15: more than once within any one word.
        !            16: In competitive play amongst humans, each player is given
        !            17: credit for those of his words which no other player has found.
        !            18: .ti +5
        !            19: This program is intended for people
        !            20: wishing to sharpen their skills at Boggle.
        !            21: If you invoke the program with 4 arguments of 4 letters each,
        !            22: (e.g. "boggle appl epie moth erhd")
        !            23: the program forms the obvious Boggle grid and lists all the
        !            24: words from /usr/dict/words found therein.
        !            25: If you invoke the program without arguments, it will generate
        !            26: a board for you, let you enter words for 3 minutes, and then
        !            27: tell you how well you did relative to /usr/dict/words.
        !            28: .ti +5
        !            29: In interactive play, enter your words separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines.
        !            30: A bell will ring when there is 2:00, 1:00, 0:10, 0:02, 0:01, and 0:00 time
        !            31: left.
        !            32: You may complete any word started before the expiration of time.
        !            33: You can surrender before time is up by hitting 'break'.
        !            34: While entering words, your erase character is only effective within the current
        !            35: word and your line kill character is ignored.
        !            36: .ti +5
        !            37: Advanced players may wish to invoke the program with 1 or 2 +'s as the
        !            38: first argument.  The first + removes the restriction that postions can only
        !            39: be used once in each word.
        !            40: The second + causes a position to be considered adjacent to itself
        !            41: as well as its (up to) 8 neighbors.
        !            42: Hit any key to begin.
