.GENERAL INFORMATION and START GAME MENU

This is the  first menu  you will  see and where  each  turn begins.  You will 
always be able to access  this part of the game whether you have used up  your 
turns for the day or not.


.Winning the Game
To win Nuclear War you must have a total of 13 Kills. This includes countries
that you destroy as well as the kills that the countries you defeat have. The
more kills a country has the more powerful they are.  If you can bring down a
more powerful country then you are awarded more kills by virtue of the number
of kills they had. When a player wins the game by aquiring the  13 kills that
are needed, their name, country, etc. is placed in a winner file and the game
is reset.

.Game News
When you log into the game one of the  screens that  will be  displayed  is a 
Game News file which the  SysOp uses to relay any  important messages without 
having to send Door Mail to each player.  All news is dated which  means that 
you will only have  it displayed to you  on the first day  you play the  game 
after the news file has been changed or updated.

.Mail Room
A new feature added to all Digital Interface Software Doors is the ability to
send and receive DOOR MAIL to other players in the game. This is a simplified
version of the E-MAIL offered in most BBS's. You can send and receive as many
pieces of mail as you wish  and reply to each  one individually.  Limitations 
are  that you  only  have 15  lines  for  each piece  sent  and all  mail  is 
automatically  deleted after it  is read.  This is however,  a fun  way to do 
verbal battle from within the game.  If another player  has sent you  mail, a 
message  will appear at  the Main Menu  stating that  'You have International 
Mail'.

.Opponents
This will give you a list of  all countries  and their current  rulers.  If a
country  has been defeated it will state that that country is radioactive. If 
it says there is an Unknown ruler then it is an open country and has no ruler

.Intelligence
Allows you to see what has been  going on in the game.  Who has attacked  who
and so forth. You have the option to view ALL of this file from the beginning
of the current game, from a  date that you can enter, or you can view all the
activity of any selected country.

.Winners
This is a winner file that  keeps the Real Name, Alias and country of all the
winners of Nuclear War.

.Help
Allows  you to view individual Help files for each phase of the game that you 
are in.  ASCII callers  get  one  screen at a time with a  [N]onstop, [S]top,     
[ENTER] prompt after each page is displayed. ANSI callers (Color and Graphic)  
will get a Help Window with options to 'Fine' scroll up and down, Page Up and 
Page Down and First and  Last page.

.Proceed
This command starts each turn and sends you through  each phase of the  game.
Each time you use this command a turn is used.


.HELP VIEWER COMMANDS
