        The basic object of Trivia MADNESS is to answer as many questions
  as you are able to earn the most points.  Everyone starts the game with
  zero points and a sysop defined number of questions per day. The number
  of tries you have to answer each question is also sysop defined. Now on
  to a description of the interface.

        The main menu is divided into the seven catagories, (Science
  and Nature, Geography, History, Entertainment, Books and Liturature,
  Sports, and Pot Luck) the instructions, the players list, and quit. If
  you are in ANSI you can use the numeric keypad to move up and down the
  menu.  Make sure your NUM LOCK is on!  When you select a catagory, you
  will be directly to the question screen, which looks like this :

                            Catagory Name
                                                        The number of
                           x Questions Left           <-Questions You have
                                                        left to answer.
                           Try #x Out Of x            <-What guess you are on
                                                        and how many more you
                                                        have.
                    WHY ARE THERE SO MANY QUESTIONS?  <-The Question.
                             þþþ þþþ þþþ              <-The Hint shows the
                                                        format for the answer.
                                                        þ = Letter # = Number
                                                        Punctuation are shown.

        You then type in your guess and hit enter. If you are correct,
   you will be shown a nice ANSI/ASCII screen that will inform you of this.
   If you are incorrect, the question will be redisplayed and the hint will
   show which letters/numbers you got correct. (NOTE : YOU MUST ENTER THE
   PUNCTUATION!) BTW, the answer is 'WHY ASK WHY'.

        After you have conpleted all of your allowed questions you will be
   prompted to look at the players list after that, you will be returned to
   the BBS. That's it. Pretty straight-forward stuff. If you like this game,
   and it has not been registered yet, BUG THE SYSOP! ;^)
