USAGE

       This text is taken verbatim from the AisleRiot Manual V2.12.

       Moving  the  cards  is  reasonably obvious. Assuming you have a right-handed mouse, left-click on a card and drag it somewhere. Release the
       mouse button to deposit the card.

       If a card can be moved to the foundation(s), you do not need to drag it. You can double-click on it and it will	move.  If  a  sequence	of
       cards can be moved to the foundations, you can generally move the sequence as one move.

       Double  clicking a card will send it to a foundation, if that is possible. This is useful for cleaning up large numbers of cards at the end
       of a successful game.

       In games which have a stock pile you can redeal it by clicking on the empty space where it was. Be warned that some games only let  you	do
       this a limited number of time. Watch for the Redeals Left message at the bottom of the window.

       A  useful tip to know is that right-clicking on a face-up card which is partially obscured by a card laid over it will raise it so that you
       can see what it is.

       There is an alternative way to move cards. By selecting Click to move from the Control menu you can click once to pick up a card  and  then
       click  again  to  place	it.  This can be faster than dragging and will be easier on your hand since you don't have to hold the mouse down.
       However, it may take a while to get used to.

       Some games have options to change the way the game is played. For example Klondike can be played with either single card  deals	or  three-
       card deals. In these games there is a separate menu with the game's name. You can only change the rules of the game at the beginning of the
       game -- the menu will be inactive during the game.

       Statistics on how well you have done at a particular game are available by selecting Statistics from the Game menu. Only  games	where  you
       actually  start moving cards are counted. The statistics are here for your own enjoyment, there are numerous ways to cheat and it is unwise
       to make comparisons.
