        !            18: .I Banner
        !            19: prints a large, high quality banner on the standard output.
        !            20: If the message is omitted, it prompts for and
        !            21: reads one line of its standard input.  If
        !            22: .B \-w
        !            23: is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
        !            24: .I n ,
        !            25: suitable for a narrow terminal.  If
        !            26: .I n
        !            27: is omitted, it defaults to 80.
        !            28: .PP
        !            29: The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide,
        !            30: with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you 
        !            31: may want
        !            32: a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a
        !            33: decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do.
        !            34: .SH BUGS
        !            35: Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
        !            36: ^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny
        !            37: looking (but in a useful way.)
        !            38: .PP

        !            40: .B \-w
        !            41: option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
        !            42: The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
        !            43: Sometimes it runs letters together.
