                        PREFERENCES MENU

 Q: How do I set the computer colors to my liking ?
 A: Select the "Change Color Preferences" item.  You will then see a screen
    with a column labeled "Foreground" and one labeled "Background".  The
    "Foreground" color is the color of the text itself.  The "Background"
    color is the color of the screen shown behind the text.

    Choose the number of the desired foreground and background colors.

    NOTE:  If you choose the same color for both foreground and background
    colors, the computer will not let you do this (since you would not be
    able to see anything at that point).

    Once you have selected a color combination that you like, just press
    'Enter'.  You will then see the PREFERENCES menu again.  To save your
    color changes, exit the PREFERENCES menu (using Esc key, 9. or q.).
    
    You will see the prompt "Changes to Preferences have been made.
                             Do you wish to save your changes (Y/n)"

    If you answer 'y', your new color settins will be saved and used from
    now on every time you run BEST BET.

    
 Q: What is Fast/Slow 'Thinking' and how do I change it ?
 A: When the computer is selecting random numbers for the playboard and
    the playslip, it shows the computer "thinking".  By default, the 
    computer is placed into "slow" thinking mode so that you can see
    the computer thinking.  This is because computer think so fast that
    if we did not slow it down some you would probably never see anything
    happen during number selection.  If you prefer the maximum thinking
    speed, select the "Change fast/slow 'Thinking" when picking numbers"
    option.  The computer thinking speed will be altered to the opposite
    speed.  Whether you pick fast or slow thinking, it does not change
    the outcome of the computer's selections, only how fast it selects.

 Q:  What does "Select the Game to play" do ?
 A:  This function enables you to pick which game you want BEST BET to
     play.  It first displays a menu of the available games in alphabetical
     order.  Press 'Enter' to see the next page of available games.  Enter
     the number shown to the left of the game name and description to
     switch to a different game.  Once you have selected a game to play,
     you are asked to confirm the new game selection.  This game will 
     remain in effect for the duration of your current BEST BET session.

     Upon exit from the PREFERENCES MENU you are asked "Do you wish to make
     your changes permanent ?".  If you want the game selection to remain
     in effect from now on (for the next time you run BEST BET), then answer
     'Y' to this question.
