Getting Started
---------------

The best way to get a feel for the system would probably be to replay
a game. To do this:

1) Launch CBPlay.exe
2) Open file GenericGame.gam
3) Double click on the first entry under the History section
   of the game's project window. 
4) Use the "VCR" buttons to step through the game. When you get to the
   end of the current history record (the next move button disables),
   press the Next History button. (>>)
5) When you're all done use the menu selection: Playback/Close 
   History Playback.
