   <i>do</i> use special delimiters, particularly the '-' (hyphen, or dash)
   character.  This is very similar to Tcl.  Think of fossil as a shell you
   invoke and feed a command to, including any options, and it will make
   more sense.
 
+  *  A <u>version</u> in <b>fossil</b> is 40 character hexadecimal string.
+  <b>fossil</b> will be able to figure out which version you want with any
+  prefix of that string that is distinct from all others.  <em>Commands
+  which require a version are looking for that string, the unique prefix,

   *  Any fossil command is acceptable once enough of it has been
   entered to make the intent unambiguous.  'clo' is a proper prefix of
   both the 'clone' and 'close' commands, for instance, but 'clon' is
   enough to make the intent&#8212;the 'clone' command&#8212;unambiguous.
