!  The InformParser object abstracts the front end of the parser.
!
!  InformParser.parse_input(results)
!  returns only when a sensible request has been made, and puts into the
!  "results" buffer:
!
!  --> 0 = The action number
!  --> 1 = Number of parameters
!  --> 2, 3, ... = The parameters (object numbers), but
!                  0 means "put the multiple object list here"
!                  1 means "put one of the special numbers here"

!  The Keyboard routine actually receives the player's words,
!  putting the words in "a_buffer" and their dictionary addresses in
!  "a_table".  It is assumed that the table is the same one on each
!  (standard) call.
!
!  It can also be used by miscellaneous routines in the game to ask
!  yes-no questions and the like, without invoking the rest of the parser.
!
!  Return the number of words typed
