    So you've always wanted a dart board, but could never find a place to put
 it.  Well, with ^1Darts^0 you no longer have to worry about holes in your
 walls, sticking someone with a dart, or worst of all, having a dart bounce
 back at your feet!  ^1Darts^0 allows up to four players, each starting with a
 score of 301 or 501.  The goal of the game is to be the first player to reduce
 that value to zero.

    To select an item from the menu use the <UP>, <DOWN> arrow keys or press
 the corresponding highlighted letter.  Values for Starting Points, Number of
 Players, or Game Speed can be adjusted by repeatedly pressing the correct
 highlighted letter or using the <LEFT>, <RIGHT> arrow keys.

    Each game may have up to four players, with each player receiving either
 301 or 501 points.  Game speed ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 the slowest and 10
 the fastest.

^1Throwing a Dart^0

    To throw a dart you must set:

                 1.) the position on the dart board to aim for

                 2.) the angle to throw the dart

                 3.) the amount of force to apply


    In the upper left-hand corner of the screen you will see a small dart board
 with a line below it.  Running along this line is a blue bar.  When the blue
 bar is positioned directly below the area you wish to shoot for hit the
 <SPACEBAR>.  Below the position window is the angle window.  A line will pivot
 up and down, forming an angle with a horizontal line.  Press the <SPACEBAR> to
 set the amount of angle.  The power window is located below the angle window.
 The power bar will slide from left to right.  The further to the right the bar
 is, the more force will be applied to the throw.  Again, press the <SPACEBAR>
 to set this value.  Once all values have been set, the computer will show the
 trajectory of the dart in the lower left-hand window on screen.


^1Turns^0

    Each player's turn consists of throwing three darts.  In the lower right
 hand corner of the screen you will find the scores.  The player that is
 currently shooting will have a "D #" beside the score (the # is the number of
 the dart you are about to throw.)


^1Scoring^0

    To reduce your score, you must first hit the outer ring (this area is known
 as the double ring since it doubles all values for that region) or the
 innermost Bullseye.  Once you have accomplished this, any further shots will
 reduce your score by the value for the region hit.

             REGION                                POINTS  REDUCED

      1.) Off the board                                   0
      2.) Outer Ring                                    Double
      3.) Inner Ring                                    Triple
      4.) Outer Bullseye                                  25
      5.) Inner Bullseye                                  50
      6.) All other regions                             Normal

 In order to win, a player must reduce their score to zero exactly.  However,
 the final shot must again hit the outer ring or the Inner Bullseye when the
 score is fifty.  For example, if a player is at four points, a winning shot
 would be to hit the outer ring in the two's region.
