+Usage: rank [user [b][s][w]]
+       rank m-n [b][s][w]
+
+  The first usage shows the ranking of the given user and all users with
+nearby rankings.  A second argument with one or more of the letters b, s,
+and/or w asks to show only blitz, standard, and/or wild ratings respectively. 
+If no second argument is given, rankings for all three types are shown.  For
+example, "rank foo bw" shows the blitz and wild ranking of the player whose
+handle is "foo".  If 'user' is omitted, your rankings will be displayed.
+
+  The second usage shows all players ranked between the rankings of M and N. 
+The optional third argument again limits which ratings are shown.  For
+example, "rank 1-30 sw" lists the players with the highest 30 standard and
+wild ratings.  "Best" lists the top 20 players in a category.
+
+  The columns are always sorted by blitz, then standard, then wild.
+
+  Currently, all players with at least 20 games of a particular rating type
+are ranked.  If you ask for a player's rank and they do not yet have the 20
+games needed to be an active player, the player's current rating will be
+displayed in the table but a line (----) will precede the handle to indicate a
+provisional ranking.
+
+  To omit computers from the list, use "hrank".
