  20        The  _\bs_\bt_\ba_\br_\bf_\bi_\bs_\bh  program  draws  radially symmetric objects,
  21        which expand, contract, rotate, and turn inside  out.   It
  22        uses  these  shapes  to lay down a field of smooth colors,
  23        and then rotates the colormap.

  54                How wide each color band should  be.   Default  0,
  55                meaning random (the chosen value will be between 0
  56                and 15.)
