 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The \fIattraction\fP program has several visually different modes of 
 operation, all of which are based on the interactions of a set of control

+.B \-nowalls
+This will cause the balls to continue on past the edge of the
+screen or window.  They will still be kept track of and can come back.
+.TP 8
+.B \-walls
+This will cause the balls to bounce when they get
+to the edge of the screen or window.  This is the default behavior.
+.TP 8
+.B \-maxspeed
+Imposes a maximum speed (default).  If a ball ends up going faster than
+this, it will be treated as though there were .9  viscosity until it is
+under the limit. This stops the balls from continually accelerating (which
+they have a tendancy to do), but also causes balls moving very fast to
+tend to clump in the lower right corner.
+.TP 8
+.B \-nomaxspeed
+If this is specified, no maximum speed is set for the balls.
+.TP 8
+.B \-fast-bounce
+Uses the old, simple bouncing algorithm (default).  This simply moves any
+ball that is out of bounds back to a wall and reverses its velocity.
+This works fine for most cases, but under some circumstances, the
+simplification can lead to annoying effects.
+.TP 8
+.B \-correct-bounce
+Uses a more intelligent bouncing algorithm.  This method actually reflects
+the balls off the walls until they are within bounds.  This can be slow
+if balls are bouncing a whole lot, perhaps because of -nomaxspeed.
+.TP 8
+.B \-graphmode none | x | y | both | speed
+For "x", "y", and "both", displays the given velocities of each ball as a
+bar graph in the same window as the balls.  For "speed", displays the total
+speed of each ball.  Default is "none".
