- PLAYING OPTIONS
-
- Arrow Keys Move the pointer

- SBar/ENTER Place exposed card
- ALT-X Abort & Quit game
-
- You are now ready to fill in the table layout with the exposed

- left card on the layout. Using your Arrow Keys, move the
- block pointer around the layout to determine where you want to
- place the exposed card. Now press the SpaceBar or ENTER Key and
- the exposed card will move to that location. Once this has been
- done, that card may not be moved from that position. Play
- continues in the same manner until twenty-five cards have been
- placed in the layout. After you've placed the twenty-fourth
- card, your last card is placed in the last remaining location
- automatically. Your final score will then be totaled from the
- ten poker hands, five horizontally and five vertically.
-
- As you place cards in the layout, your score is added and shown
- on the lower right hand side of your screen.
-
- You may abort the game by pressing ALT-X. Doing so will end the
