This reports a simple but irritating bug in the user interface for
Solarian.

If the Command-K key is hit while on the high score screen, the key
bindings for the various non-mouse operations are displayed.  The user
then has the choice of changing the key bindings or quitting.  The
displayed key binding for the "Scissors Snip" operation is "l".  The
actual key binding is the simultaneous striking of the "l", ";", and "'"
keys.  The on-line documentation does not state this, nor does it state
that any alternate key bindings are specified by the leftmost key of
three adjacent keys, which seems to be the way things work.
