+		@internal:name
+			An internal agent player
+
+			These agents run within the qchess program (unless there is a timeout setting... never mind).
+			
+			Choices are:
+			
+			AgentRandom - Makes random moves only
+
+			AgentBishop - Uses probability estimates and a min/max recursive (depth is only one) algorithm
+				    - Will usually take a long time to run

+		Enable the GUI
 
 		If graphics are enabled (default), then the user will be prompted to choose any of the two players not supplied as arguments.
+
+	--no-graphics
+		Disable the GUI

+	--reveal
+		If graphics are enabled, the two states for pieces will always be shown, regardless of whether both states have been revealed.
+		Note that this switch only affects the GUI and does not provide any information to agent players.
+
+		If graphics are disabled, has no effect.
 
-	--file[=filename]
+	--file[=filename][:events]
 		Replay a game saved in file, or read from stdin if no filename given
+		If a number of events is supplied, the game will advance that many events before stopping.
+
+		If no players are given, the GUI will NOT ask for player selections.
+		The game will exit after the replay finishes. Events in the replay will be subject to the normal delay (see --delay).
+
+		If black and white players are supplied, the game will continue using those players.
+		In this case, there will be no delays between events in the replay (the game starts at the end of the replay)
+
+		(We hope that) this feature will be useful for comparing how different versions of an agent respond to the same situation.
 
 	--log[=filename]
 		Log moves to a file or stdout if no filename given

 	--delay[=time]
 		The game pauses between moves so that it can be followed by a human observer.
