                     20: you are a little worm, your body is the "o"'s on the screen

                     22: snake).  If you don't press any keys, you continue in the direction you
                     23: last moved.  The upper case HJKL keys move you as if you had pressed
                     24: several (9 for HL and 5 for JK) of the corresponding lower case key

                     29: that you ate.  The object of the game is to see how long you can make
                     30: the worm grow.

                     33: or itself.  The current score (how much the worm has grown) is kept in
                     34: the upper left corner of the screen.
                     35: .PP
