Help on the items in the DECK menu.
* Shuffle
* Cut
* Face Up/Down
* Deal Top/Right/Left
* Fresh
SHUFFLE: When you chooose this the
deck will be riffled three times.
If you are starting with a fresh deck
you may want to shuffle it several
times to mix the cards up good. If
cards are laid out they will be
gathered up into the deck before the
shuffle. The order of the deck is
maintained between sessions. When
a layout file is opened the deck
order changes to the way it was
when the file was saved.
CUT: This command will cut the deck
once in the approximate center,
placing the bottom half on top. Like
the shuffle, laid cards will be
gathered up.
FACE UP/DOWN: This command toggles
between having the cards dealt face up
or face down. Cards already laid can
be turned over. Just left-click on
them with the toggle set to face down,
or vice versa if they are face down
and you want to turn them up. You can
use the middle mouse button, if you
have one, to set this toggle. You can
check the status of the toggle by
seeing if UP or DN appears beside the
word FACE in the menu. You can set
either up or down as the default
setting by choosing SAVE in the
OPTIONS sub-menu when you have it set
the way you want it.
(See OPTIONS help for more)
DEAL TOP/RIGHT/LEFT: This is a three
way toggle between having the cards
dealt on top of the deck, to the right
of the deck or to the left of the
deck. When the cards are dealt to the
top it is easy to deal and then move
the card with one click and drag
motion. Dealing to one side or another
is a easy way of dealing a lot of
cards into a pile. Just look at the
word appearing beside DEAL to see the
status of this toggle. Like the face
up/down toggle the default setting can
be set under SAVE in the OPTIONS
submenu.
FRESH: Choose this to start with a
fresh unshuffled deck. When you quit
the program the order of the deck, as
well as the placement of it and any
dealt cards, is saved in a file called
"DECK.CFG". This file is automatically
loaded each time you start the
program. This simulates the way most
people use a deck of cards; I don't
know about you but I don't reorder the
deck after each session. If you do
want to start fresh every time tho you
can delete the file "DECK.CFG" before
you start or choose this command once
you are in the program.
