Sorry, I haven't given it the ability to restart yet. I really should.
The thing is if you restart using the [ENTER] key, you lose that
score, i.e. you can't you the user lang program SCORE to get the
decimal score from the user flags.  Therefore I never really
bothered with it.  However, I am sure plenty of people have accidently
hit the [ENTER] key instead of the [7] key and screwed everything up.
And of course, if your score is lousy or you are losing in a big way,
you want a quick restart.  I will make it top priority.

Does anyone think that the [ENTER] - [7] key problem is big
enough to change the place key to another key?

As soon as I make this fix, I will post my code as I have had
several requests.
