It never occurred to me that a Unix user would interpret an OPTIONS 
section of a man page that talks about "the command line" to be referring 
to some dialog inside the program that a person can type commands 
into, rather than the shell command line from which you invoke xboard.
I guess I should add another sentence to the top of that section 
to clarify it.
