!	with pauses, in case the player decides he wants to quit without seeing
!	the whole thing; this is to prevent an intolerable inundation of text.
!
!	The user of these routines is free to copy and paste them rather than 
!	including the whole file, and/or to modify them to suit his needs.
!
!	SampleTranscript does assume that the user is also using HelpRoutines.h.
