From any list of items displayed in a window, the mouse or cursor keys may be used to highlight and select the desired entry. The [Enter] key or [M1] (left Mouse button) is typically used for selecting; [Esc] or [M2] (right Mouse button) is used to quit or cancel a function. 2. When using the Mouse to select, it is usually necessary to double-click (press [M1] twice quickly). 3. Prompts will usually appear either at the top line, the bottom 2 lines, or both. If in doubt, PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN!!! 4. If you expect to find a unique song using Note Search, you can usually press a key after a beep indicates that a song has been found; if left until completion, all songs that match the search notes in all other keys will be displayed. 5. To use one of the song categories as input to the game, simply do a category search to display the songs from the desired category, exit, and start the game. You will be asked if you wish to use the last song category when starting the game. 6. When playing the game with other players, remember that MORE THAN ONE player may try to answer; the first player number pressed will be given first crack at the answer; if it's wrong, the next player will have a chance. Observe the bottom status line carefully to see what's going on. 7. The default window size for the game is 20 songs. You may specify a window size from 5 to 20 songs BEFORE starting the game: e.g., SONGS 12 specifies a window for 12 songs in the game. 8. The notes and timing may be a little off for some songs, but hey, I had to enter EVERY SINGLE SONG and I get tired! Hopefully, you can at least be able to recognize them. If it REALLY bothers you, then change it! 9. If you can allocate a portion of memory for a virtual (electronic) disk, the speed of the Note Search feature will improve dramatically!  press [Esc] when FINISHED
