Introduction

what skill level your at. Among many features you can even change the rules at
will, even have the computer tell you what cards to discard for a MAXIMUM
chance of winning.

You must also use this option if you change the rules,
since you can't change them in the middle of a game..
About = Everything you ever wanted to know about Proker but
didn't dare asking...
Quit = This will transform your 68000 into a nice 68060 for
10 minutes.. ;-)

Display the best card.
When you choose this option, the computer will do its choice of
best cards by placing an X under the card.
( Of course when its finished calculating it, but meanwhile you
can still play, its doing it in the backround...)
Last Card
Only used in Computer mode and the Rules are "With Last Card".
The number you enter here is the minimum percentage value the
computer will risk.
ex. In the Higher or Lower sequence, when the number is -> 4,
there are 9 chances out 13 (69%) if the computer chooses 'Higher'
which means if your minimum setting is 62%, computer will Risk.
With the 8

The number here is the amount of times the computer will Risk
before keeping his gains.
