STAIRWAY is a word game that will put your vocabulary skills to the test.

The object of STAIRWAY is to create 6 words with a length of 2 thru 7 
characters. The starting letter for ALL the words will be the same and will be
selected, by the computer, at the start of each game.

Then you enter a word, the program will check it's dictionary and accept the 
word ONLY if the word is found in the dictionary. There may very well be words
that are not in the dictionary and we will update the dictionary as soon as we
receive word from the Sysop.

Scoring will be based on the value assigned to each letter in the word. Letter
values are as follows:

A = 65  B = 66  C = 67  D = 68  E = 69  F = 70  G = 71  H = 72  I = 73  J = 74
K = 75  L = 76  M = 77  N = 78  O = 79  P = 80  Q = 81  R = 82  S = 83  T = 84
U = 85  V = 86  W = 87  X = 88  Y = 89  Z = 90




If you have not filled in any of the steps (the first step does NOT count as it
is filled by the computer) you will lose 1000 points.

You will receive BONUS points, defined by the Sysop, when you complete all 
steps.
