  5.         relevant sections between "fish-hooks" as shown here.
  6.         Use capitals for key words. If a word is terminated
  7.         with a space, a search will be made for words having
  8.         the same initial letter as that word. The optional
  9.         text with comments following the word may consist of

  16.         program itself, or on the directory which is current
  17.         when the program is started. The file should be
  18.         called SYNLIST.RDB.
  19.  
  20.         For DOS versions prior to 3.0 the glossary should be
  21.         in the directory which is current when the program
  22.         is started. The file should be called SYNLIST.RDB.
  23.  
  24.         An optional glossary can be selected with a parameter
  25.         on command line or command file, example:
