to select a stack of cards press enter on the card at the bottom of the stack
to deselect a card or stack of cards press enter/F1 anywhere you can not move the card(s)
after you win and bouncing card celebration begins press any key to exit

Options page
	customize keys			allows you to change the default keys
					it will say a command and wait for you to press a key
					the key you press will be the new definition for that command

					IMPORTANT do not define multiple commands to same key
					if this happens, do not worry it isn’t the end of the world
					if intro is enabled just exit program and redefine keys
					next time you run program
					if not and goto title screen is not working exit and delete
					program and send a new copy to calculator

					if some other command is defined the same as exit and save,
					exit and save will always come first so you will always 
					be able to exit program if you remember how you defined exit


	reset defaults			resets key definitions to original definitions and sets title screen to ON

	reset statistics		isn’t it obvious

	turn on/off title screen	default is on.  When off the program goes strait into the game
					if you need to get to the title screen to change options press home

version 1   (4-24-02)
inital release

began working on freecell (2000 about a month after first release of tigcc)

note

when a pile of cards becomes too tall to fit on screen the cards between the card on top
and the last card shown become shaded and take up he space of one card   the cards between
are still there you just cant see them with because the screen is to small    to view 
these cards press up arrow to scroll though them

The futre of freecell

unless bugs are reported becuase it seems complete but
If you have suggestions of features you would like to see added i am open
to suggestions and i may add them.
