                           Help for Game Inquiries

This feature permits you to do a search, in the current game area, for
certain parameters. You can view the stats and/or download the games
compiled in the stats to view in your offline chess editor. 

Options:  [D]ate   :  Collects games with this date and after. Games
                      with dates prior to this are ignored. Leave
                      blank for all dates.
          [P]layer :  Enter a player's name, to collect games only
                      in which this player is involved. Leave blank
                      for all players.
          [G]ame   :  You can enter a single game or a range of game
                      numbers. For a single game, enter the game number
                      for both the starting and ending value. To collect
                      games from a single game number through the end,
                      leave the ending game number blank. Leaving both
                      blank collects all.
          [S]tatus :  There are three choices, [A]ctive, [C]ompleted or
                      [B]oth. Blank defaults to [B].

                      displayed. The download archive will be in the
