                            HELP FOR MAIN WINDOW


                             GENERAL INFORMATION

    The first requirement is that a list of past data must be entered in
    the Data Window and kept up to date.

    The next step is to examine the data list to find the most promising
    numbers to bet with (and eliminate the weak ones). This is accomplished
    in the Prediction Window where three different sets of numbers can be
    generated and compared. The best can be saved for use in the Bet Window.

    The last step is to combine the selected set of numbers into a list of
    bets. This is accomplished in the Bet Window where three different
    listings can be produced and compared. The best list can be saved for
    marking onto the game cards.

    When the published results become available, you type them into the
    Data Window and enter the Results Window to check for winning tickets.

                                MENU OPTIONS

    1.1  Project/Select Game

      Choose "Select Game" if you want to run a different game. The game
      window will be displayed (same as program entry) in which you can
      select another system and/or game.

    1.2   Project/Print Text...

      Select "Print Text..." if you want to send data to your printer. A
      window will be displayed in which you can print game data, prediction
      data, bet data, or result data.

    1.3   Project/Reverse Date

      Select "Reverse Date" if you want to change the way the date is shown
      in the program (dd mm yy or mm dd yy). The date will be reversed
      every time you make this selection.

    1.4  Project/About...

      Select "About..." if you want to get general information about the
      author or program version. A window will open to display this
      information.

    1.5  Project/Quit...

      Select "Quit..." if you want to exit the program. A requester will be
      displayed in which you can confirm your choice to quit. It is also a
      reminder to save text in which case the "print text" window will be
      displayed (same as 1.2 above).

    2.1  Auto/Select Auto...

      Choose "Select Auto..." if you want to run the program automatically.
      A window will be displayed in which you select a prediction type
      (Computer, Random or Rotate) and a bet type (Random, Optimised or
      Wheeled). When you then select "check & run", another window will be
      opened in which you check/change the displayed sizes and run/cancel.
      When run, the program will run your prediction choice and save the
      result, then these values will be used in your bet choice and the
      resulting bet list saved. Please note that an Optimised bet can take
      a very long time if it has not previously been run and saved.

    3.1  Config/Config File...

      Select "Config File..." if you want to run the program in another

      can select available language versions.

      The original file is config_def (default english). If you want to
      change it to another language then copy it (from 'config' directory)
      into your text editor, rename it, replace the english text & save it.

    3.2  Config/Config Font...

      Select "Config Font..." if you have loaded a config file and want to
