Setup a Position

After hitting <Ctrl S> and the board has cleared, use the '<' and '>' keys
to move the cursor around the screen.  Note that the cursor will visit all
points, including the bar at BOTH ends of the screen.

To insert pieces on an empty point, cursor to that point and then hit <C>
or <P> plus a digit from 1 to 9 to indicate whose pieces and how many to
place on that point.

To delete pieces on a point, cursor to that point and the press the <Del>
key.  These pieces will return to their holder.

The computer will not allow you to make illegal placements (such as putting
the computer's pieces on the player's bar).

Once you have completed your setup, hit <Enter>.  You will be asked "OK?" and
if you sanction it by hitting <Y>, the final question is which side to move
first.  Hit <C> for computer and <P> for player (you).

If you have trouble deciding which color belongs to whom, remember that yours
are in the piece holder at the bottom of the screen.  Also, your home quadrant
(the computer's bearing off quadrant) is always numbered 1 to 6.

Note that if you enter setup during a game, you will lose that game and can
only save or replay moves from the point of the setup.


			Saving/Restoring Games

At the end of each game, you are asked if you wish to save it.  Only the <Y>
key will start the saving process.  Any other key will proceed.  if you do
answer <Y>, the board will clear away and you will be presented with a menu.
You can also hit <Ctrl W> at any time to get to this menu.

You can save or restore any fragment of any game in this fashion.  You must
give each saved fragment a name, after which it will be written to disk.  The
number of games you can save is limited only by disk space.
