+	    syntax "-option+", "-option=on", or "-option:on".  To always set
+	    the option off, use the syntax "-option-", "-option=off", or
+	    "-option:off".  The syntax with the "=" may not work under DOS
+	    because of operating system constraints.  Use one of the other
+	    forms in that case.
