              -You enter your guess in one entry, like A5-B6.  Letters have
               been added to make it easier to figure out what comes first!
              -Stacking of commands is now allowed in a few different areas.
               On Make A Move you can enter 1-5 to make a move in game 5

     NEW!     -Expert Mode at Main Menu
              -Graphics (Colour) toggle On/Off

              Playing Checkers is easy.  Make a move and wait for your
         opponent to make his move.  Simply read the Bulletin to see who's
         turn it is before you open the Door.

         To put your name into a game you can either start a brand new and
         wait for somebody else to join or join a game looking for a Player
         two.  Just choose the appropriate menu number.

              Each player continues to guess away until one player has all
         of his playing pieces removed from the board.  In Graphics the
         players are "black" and "white".  If you aren't using graphics mode
         then the black player's men are displayed as a lower case "b" for
         a normal playing piece and an upper case "B" for a king.  The white
         player is the same but the letters are "w" and "W".

              You can also look at other games that are being played even if
         you aren't in that game.  Use Option number 3.

              While you are in the Checkers Door you can see a Master List
         of who is playing and who's turn it is by using Option 5.

              If for any reason during the duration of the Door program you
         need to 'Quit' some function, enter the letter 'Q' when you see
         prompts like 'Make a move in this game? [Y]/N/Q'.  In some cases
         just hitting Return without any input will abort.

              One of neat features of this door is the ability to play a
         game with the Sysop.  Choose option 8 and hope the Sysop answers
         your page.  Then just guess away till somebody wins.

              When making a double jump, enter your first set of co-ordinates
         and press Return, i.e.  A1-C3 <return>, then the program will ask
         you +TO - this is where you enter the next destination, i.e. D5.
         The program will again ask you +TO.  If you are done just press
         RETURN and your move will be completed.

              That's all there is to it, just follow the screen and have fun!
