Solon Solitaire Menu System
  USING THE MENU

Solon Software uses a very simple menu system to access the Solitaire series
of games.  The program finds all of the Solon Solitaire games in the current
subdirectory, and then lists these games in a menu.  To access one of the
games, simply highlight the game desired, and press enter.  The menu will
disappear, and the game will be started.  Upon leaving that game, the menu
reappears, and another game can be chosen.

To highlight a game on the menu, the arrow keys will scroll up and down one
line at a time.  Page Up and Page Down move up or down several games at a
time, Home goes to the very beginning of the list, and End goes to the end.
Pressing a letter will go to the first game that begins with that letter.

To exit the menu, just press Escape.

As more Solon Solitaire games are acquired, they are added automatically to
the menu.  If the software finds something that seems to be a Solon
Solitaire game, but cannot be identified, it will be added to the menu with
a question mark in parentheses: (?).  Care should be taken before selecting
an item so marked; it may work just fine, but since the menu has been
designed to run a specific type of program, there problems that require
rebooting the computer.

as well as easy to use, programs.  The success of this company depends on
the support of its users.  If you enjoy the games, please send us $10 and
your name and address.  We will place your name on our mailing list (this

able to make our payroll!

If you need help, have suggestions for our games, or ideas for other
