    and annoying, plus the game "freezes" while sounds are playing (no
    threading on Atari!) which slows down gameplay.

+6. Prompts that only accept one character no longer require pressing Enter.
    Gameplay is more streamlined this way. Apple and Linux are inconsistent:
    some prompts need Enter, some don't. In the Atari port, the only prompts
    that require Enter are:
    - naming your firm
    - entering an amount of cash or items (but not if you hit A for "all")

     Atari currently uses 32-bit unsigned longs for cash and debt,
     though the bank is now floating point. This leads to these gameplay
