+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
 prints a large, high quality banner on the standard output.
 If the message is omitted, it prompts for and
-reads one line of its standard input.  If
-.B \-w
+reads one line of its standard input.
+If
+.Fl w
 is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to
-.I n ,
-suitable for a narrow terminal.  If
-.I n
-is omitted, it defaults to 80.
-.PP
-The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide,
-with no breaks between the pages. The volume is great enough that you 
-may want
-a printer or a fast hardcopy terminal, but if you are patient, a
-decwriter or other 300 baud terminal will do.
-.SH BUGS
-Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \\,
-^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny

+For example:

+The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width,

+.Sh BUGS
+Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably \*[Lt], \*[Gt], [, ], \\,
+^, _, {, }, |, and ~.  Also, the characters ", ', and \*[Am] are funny
 looking (but in a useful way.)
-.PP

 The
-.B \-w
+.Fl w
 option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns.
 The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
 Sometimes it runs letters together.
