- Seeing How Everyone Voted

    [L]ist Questions/Results - The first menu option does exactly what it
     says.  Choosing this will list out all current voting questions, and
     allow you to select one to view the voting results of.

     Questions are listed one after the other, with:

         (*) an asteric next to question that have not been voted on by you,
         (+) a plus sign if you have voted, but multiple votes are allowed,
         (-) and a minus sign if a question is marked for deletion.  Questions
             marked for deletion will more than likely be removedin a few
             days.

     If a voting question was created "in response to" another question, that
     question number it is responding to will be displayed underneath the
     question.


- How To Vote On Questions

    [V]ote On Questions - This option will allow you to select a question
     to vote on.  Questions are listed in the same manner as when listing the
     questions to see the results.

     After selecting the question to vote on, the question and its responses
     will be displayed.  If you have already voted on that question, your
     choice will be highlighted from the rest of the list.

     A prompt will be shown with different options on it.  You may either
     enter:

         a number to choose as your vote,
         '99' - to add your own response if allowed,
         [K] - to mark a question for deletion if you created it,
         [R] - to create a new voting question in response to the current one
               if you are allowed to create new questions, and
         [Q] - to quit voting and return to the list of questions prompt


- Scanning Questions You Haven't Vote On

    [S]can Questions Not Voted - Allows you to scan through the questions
     that you have not yet voted on.  This option does not list the questions
     out in a list, but instead displays each question with a prompt.

     You may either vote on each question, or skip them.  You will get
     basically the same prompt as displayed as when you are voting on a
     question while scanning, except for the [ENTER] to skip a question.
     Skipping a question will tell Vote-O-Rama not to mark your vote, and
     continue scanning through the rest of the available voting questions.


- Adding New Questions

    [E]nter A New Question - Assuming the sysop is allowing users to add
     questions, this option will be displayed.  Choosing this, will allow you
     to create a new question.  The maximum number of questions per voting
     area is 999.

     You will be be asked their question, and then a few questions, including
     if they wish to have your name associated with this question.  Answering
     yes to that question will place the line <your name> Asks: above the
     question.  For example:

         "John Doe Asks:"

     After answering all questions, you will be prompted for available
     responses.  The minimum number of responses is 2, and the maximum is
     dependent on what the sysop has configured Vote-O-Rama to allow.


- Quitting The Program

    [Q]uit To BBS - This option will allows you to quit Vote-O-Rama and return
     to the bbs.  If you wishe, you may leave a one-line message to the next
     voter.  Vote-O-Rama will ask if you are sure you want to exit before
     leaving the program.
