 **1. Getting Started**
 **==================**

 **a. Help with Sleuth**
 **-------------------**

        There are many variations of the guessing game,
        Sleuth is one variation. Each game starts with a
        random sequence of six di. Your given nine chances
        to determine the correct sequence of di. The Novice
        version of the game uses each di only once.

        To start the game, click on any of the di at the top
        of the screen and drag-and-drop the di into one of
        the first row of boxes. After you have all six boxes
        filled, click on the 'Enter Guess' button to determine
        if you guessed the right sequence.

        The box across from the row of six will display the
        number of correct guesses, any where from 1 to 6,
        or blank for none. You continue playing by
        drag-and-dropping the di into the next row, and so
        on.

        If you need help in guessing, click on the 'Hint'
        button. This button is only enabled after you click
        on the 'Enter Guess' button, but before you move
        any di. The Hint button blanks out any incorrect
        boxes.

        After nine guesses, the game ends and you can continue
        playing with a new random sequence. Enjoy.

 **======================================**

        If you have a problem, chances are you can fix it without
        needing to get help. Try the following:

        If the game says you have insufficient memory, or if it crashes,
        try rebooting without loading any TSR programs, such as your
        disk cache.

        If the screen is to dark to see, try turning up the brightness on
        your monitor.
