This version of yahtzee is inspired by an IBM PC basica version
of the same program.  It currently runs on BSD4.[23] and Microsoft
Xenix.  Don't know about SYS V.  Only the controls of the game
are described here, not the entire rules/strategies of yahtzee.  Sorry.

After the game starts, enter the player names.  Then, each player in
turn will "roll" the dice, keeping the ones he wants, and re-rolling the
others.

To move the selector in front of the dice, use the up and down arrow keys.
If you want to freeze the die pointed to by the indicator, use the 'X' key
(case unimportant).  To clear the die, press the space bar.  Frozen dice
will be indicated so by an 'X' in front of it.  To roll the remaining dice,
press the return key.

After three rounds of rolling, (or if all 5 dice are frozen) you must choose
which score category you want this roll to count towards.  This is done the
same way...Use the up and down arrow key to move the indicator to the
desired category.  Then, press the return key and your score will be
registered.  If you choose a category that doesn't fit what the dice show,
a 0 will be entered as the score (example: the dice show 3-3-3-3-5, and
you choose yahtzee, you will receive 0 instead of 50).

Play continues until each score category has been filled.  The player with
the highest combined score is declared the winner.

If you wish to exit the game, press the ESC key twice in a row.

[Also vi (and rogue and ...) motions work.  play]
