Gives me a thought; longer term, the documentation will be better
maintained if the code is self-documenting.  Maybe an in-game command
("h" or "?") can pop up a full-screen display of all available commands?
Rather than this being hardcoded, it would be derived dynamically by
querying all the state classes (add a method to each to describe its
function, probably returns a short string).  Would this be a big deal to
implement?

OT: the 802.11b stuff itself works pretty well at home, getting the
wife's Win98 laptop happy with it was a bit tricky, but not too bad for
a Unix geek like me.  (Actually, from what I hear of the security issues
and interference problems, I wonder if it's not better suited for home
use than corporate...)  We're using the Linksys BEFW11S4
router/switch/wireless bridge combo, would recommend it for most people.
