     In wwoorrmm, you are a little worm, your body is
     the "o"'s on the screen and your head is the "@".
     You move with the hjkl keys and the arrow keys (as
     in the game snake).  If you don't press any keys, you
     continue in the direction you last moved.  The upper
     case HJKL keys move you as if you had pressed several
     (9 for HL and 5 for JK) of the corresponding lower case
     key (unless you run into a digit, then it stops).

     On the screen you will see a digit, if your worm eats
     the digit is will grow longer, the actual amount longer
     depends on which digit it was that you ate.  The object
     of the game is to see how long you can make the worm grow.

     The game ends when the worm runs into either the sides
     of the screen, or itself.  The current score (how much
     the worm has grown) is kept in the upper right corner
     of the screen.

     The optional argument, if present, is the initial length
     of the worm.
