-p is useful for finding a token's score.  The fact that it uses the
default robs and robx values does, indeed, affect the score.  Remember
that the robs and robx parameters are used for biasing the score of
unknown (or infrequently trained) tokens to improve the overall score of
a message.  Also as a token's counts increase, the effect of robs and
robx lessens.

FYI, here are the three maintenance options:

	-a age	- Exclude tokens with older ages.
	-c cnt	- Exclude tokens with lower counts.
	-s l,h	- Exclude tokens with lengths between 'l' and 'h' 
                  (low and high).

They're usable while dumping or loading a wordlist or while doing
in-place maintenance.
