EPSILON GAMES COMMAND LINE OPTIONS (PARAMETERS):

A command line parameter is text typed after the name of the executable
program file. Command line parameters often affect how the program runs.

For example, the Epsilon Game executable file is "EG.EXE". To start
the program you type "EG" then hit enter.  If you want to use a command
line parameter called "KEYBOARD.ON" then you type "EG KEYBOARD.ON"
and hit enter.

You may enter more then one command line parameter at once if you choose,
however be sure to leave a space between each parameter.

Here is a list of command line parameters you can use:

 KEYBOARD.ON                       -----       Keyboard gameplay for
					       non-joystick players.

 DEFAULT_PATH.(new path here)      -----       New working directory.

 JOYSTICK.OFF                      -----       Start game with the
					       joystick being deactivated.

 BUTTONS.SWAP                      -----       Swap the jump/grab button
					       functions.
