1.4 Learn to Bid After the cards have been dealt, your hand for South will appear on the lower portion of the display. Any bids already made will show under the appropriate Player Indicators, and s will flash when its your turn to bid. The vulnerability, if any, will also be displayed. Line 1 of the display now shows all the symbols necessary to make your bid: PN (Pass/Clubs/Diamonds/Hearts/ Spades/No Trump), and Line 2 prompts you to make a bid for South. There are two different ways to bid: Direct Key Bidding: Press a Suit Key (///) or NO TRUMP, and then a Value Key (2/3/4), in that order. As soon as the Suit Key is pressed, the symbol for that suit will appear on Line 2 of the display. Likewise, when the Value Key is pressed, that value will also appear on Line 2, and the display will prompt you to Press Enter. Confirm your bid by pressing ENTER. To pass, press PASS and ENTER. Cursor Key Bidding: Press > or < to move the flashing cursor along the characters in Line 1 of the display, until you reach your desired suit symbol. Next, press ? to copy that suit symbol to Line 2 of the display. Line 1 now changes to show the possible bid values: 1234567. Press > or < to position the flashing cursor over your desired bid value, and press ? to copy that number to Line 2. Finally, press ENTER to confirm your bid. After you submit your bid with ENTER, using either of the above methods, the computer will bid the remaining hands. When s flashes again, its time to enter your next bid. For this and subsequent bids, Line 1 of the display will again show the bid symbols as before, with the addition of d for double or R for redouble, if appropriate. Enter your bid as described above. If you decide to double or redouble, either press DOUBLE and then ENTER, or use ? to move the d or R down to Line 2, and then press ENTER. Continue bidding until there have been three consecutive passes. At this point, the computer will take you directly into the playing phase.

BIDDING/PLAY INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
If you change your mind after entering a suit or value (but before pressing ENTER), press the , key to cancel and start over. When only a single suit or value is valid, it is automatically selected and moved down to Line 2. When only one card is left to play in the final round, the computer will automatically play that card for you. Attempting to enter an invalid suit or value will result in an error beep. If all parties pass, All pass will be displayed, along with a 0 result. If this happens, return to the Deal Menu for a new hand by pressing ESCAPE. Press ESCAPE during bidding or play to terminate your current hand and return to the Deal Menu.
Note that the computers default settings are Team of Four (Duplicate Bridge), and American Standard (Five-Card Majors).
1.5 and Learn to Play Just as in a game played by four human players, the bids made will have decided who is to lead. The player with the highest bid is declarer, and declarers partner is dummy. The player to the right of dummy leads the first card, and play then continues in a clockwise direction. The object is to win tricks, and you must follow suit whenever possible. Tricks are won by the highest card of the suit thats been led, but cards from the trump suit (if any) will outrank cards from any other suit. If its your opening lead, s will flash; otherwise, the computer will lead. For subsequent tricks, the first player is the winner of the previous trick. Once the first card is led, watch the display for the following: The suits and values appear in the middle of the display, as the cards are being played. Dummys hand is normally displayed at the top half of the display, and your hand is shown at the bottom. If South
is dummy, however, your hand as North will be displayed at the top. The Dummy Indicator appears under w,n,e, or s. A symbol on the left-hand side of the display (///) will be underlined to indicate the trump suit, if any. The computer will play East and West, and it will also play North (if North is not declarer or dummy). If North is declarer or dummy, youll play both North and South. Whenever its your turn, youll see s flash (or n, if youre playing North). Youll also choose the cards for dummy. On your turn, Line 1 of the display will show your available suits (e.g., ), the current player (e.g., S for South), and the vulnerability, if any. Note that, if only one suit or value is valid for that play, it will be played for you automatically. After you have selected the suit using one of the methods described below, the display will show your available cards in that suit (e.g., AQ943). Play a card by using the Direct Keys or the Cursor Keys, just as you did during the bidding phase: Direct Key Method: Press a Suit Key (///), then a Value Key (2 to a), in that order. Then, press ENTER. Cursor Key Method: Press > or < to move the flashing cursor along the characters in Line 1 of the display, until you reach your desired suit symbol. Next, press ? to copy that suit symbol to Line 2 of the display. Line 1 now changes to show your available cards for that particular suit. Press > or < to move the flashing cursor until you reach your desired card. Again, press ? to copy that value to Line 2, and then press ENTER. If all the other cards have not yet been played when you enter your card, the computer will continue to play. Once the trick has been won, Line 2 will show the contract, along with the number of tricks won so far by North/South and East/West (e.g., 2 NS 4 EW 2). Press ENTER to start play of the next trick. Enter a card, as before, and continue to play until all 13 tricks have been taken. 1.6 Checking Out the Results After the last trick has been won, the
