What would I have to change to fix that bug? The only place where I have
been able to find 50, ! and ? close to each other in book.c is:

	    epsilon = 0;
	    if (smallbuf[strlen(smallbuf)-1] == '?') {
		epsilon = -50;
	    } else if (smallbuf[strlen(smallbuf)-1] == '!') {
		epsilon = 50;
	    }

Later on I see:

		if (!found) { 
		  bookpos[bookcnt].key = HashKey;
	          bookpos[bookcnt].score = BookSearch() + epsilon;
		  bookcnt++;
		}

Before reading further, please get ready to excuse my naive attempt at 
understanding C code! Here it seems that epsilon gets a value of -50 
for ? and 50 for !, as it should. It would seem to me that the bug must 
be somewhere else.

Where would I set the higer value. In the above place (i.e., replace 50 with 
200 and -50 with -200)?
