        !            29: .PP
        !            30: If you have never played solitaire before, it is recommended
        !            31: that you consult a solitaire instruction book. In
        !            32: Canfield, tableau cards may be built on each other downward
        !            33: in alternate colors. An entire pile must be moved as a unit
        !            34: in building. Top cards of the piles are available 
        !            35: to be played on foundations, but never into empty spaces.
        !            36: .PP
        !            37: Spaces must be filled from the stock. The top card of
        !            38: the stock also is available to be played on foundations or
        !            39: built on tableau piles. After the stock is exhausted,
        !            40: tableau spaces may be filled from the talon and the player may
        !            41: keep them open until he wishes to use them.
        !            42: .PP
        !            43: Cards are dealt from the hand to the talon by threes
        !            44: and this repeats until there are no more cards in the hand
        !            45: or the player quits. To have cards dealt onto the talon the
        !            46: player types 'ht' for his move. Foundation base cards are
        !            47: also automatically moved to the foundation when they become
        !            48: available.
        !            49: .PP

        !            54: When properly used this can greatly increase one's chances of 
        !            55: winning.
        !            56: .PP
        !            57: The rules for betting are somewhat less strict than
        !            58: those used in the official version of the game.
        !            59: The initial deal costs $13.
        !            60: You may quit at this point or inspect the game.
        !            61: Inspection costs $13 and allows you to make as many
        !            62: moves as possible without moving any cards from your hand
        !            63: to the talon.
        !            64: (The initial deal places three cards on the talon;
        !            65: if all these cards are used,
        !            66: three more are made available.)
        !            67: Finally, if the game seems interesting,
        !            68: you must pay the final installment of $26.
        !            69: At this point you are
        !            70: credited at the rate of $5 for each card on the foundation;
        !            71: as the game progresses you are credited with $5 for each
        !            72: card that is moved to the foundation.
        !            73: Each run through the hand after the first costs $5.
        !            74: The card counting feature
        !            75: costs $1 for each unknown card that is identified.
        !            76: If the information is toggled on,
        !            77: you are only charged for cards
        !            78: that became visible since it was last turned on.
        !            79: Thus the maximum cost of information is $34.
        !            80: Playing time is charged at a rate of $1 per minute.
        !            81: .PP
