procedure hanoi(number:integer;from,onto,other:char);
 {Recursive procedure that solves a subproblem of the original problem,
 moving some number of disks, not necessarily 5.  To move n disks, it
 must get the topmost n-1 out of the way, move the nth to the target
 stack, then move the n-1 to the target stack.}

   {This procedure moves one single disk.  It assumes that the move is
   legal, i.e., the disk is at the top of its stack and the target stack
   has no smaller disks already.  Procedure hanoi is responsible for
   making sure that's all true.}
