 (* Syntax of command lines:
     A keyword is a character string starting with a [-].
     An option is a keyword alone or followed by an argument.
-    There are six types of keywords: [Unit], [Set], [Clear], [String],
-    [Int], and [Float].  [Unit], [Set] and [Clear] keywords take no
-    argument.  [String], [Int], and [Float] keywords take the following
-    word on the command line as an argument.
+    The types of keywords are: [Unit], [Set], [Clear], [String],
+    [Int], [Float], and [Rest].  [Unit], [Set] and [Clear] keywords take
+    no argument.  [String], [Int], and [Float] keywords take the following
+    word on the command line as an argument.  A [Rest] keyword takes the
+    remaining of the command line as (string) arguments.
     Arguments not preceded by a keyword are called anonymous arguments.
