- The game, in effect, lends the player money, so it is possi-

- soon as a person goes into debt, he must "fix the problem",
- _\bi._\be., make himself solvent, before play can continue. If
- this is not possible, the player's property reverts to his
- debtee, either a player or the bank. A player can resign at

- back on the board, unowned.

- Any time that the response to a question is a _\bs_\bt_\br_\bi_\bn_\bg, e.g.,

- _\bh_\bo_\bl_\bd_\bi_\bn_\bg_\bs: holdings list: Look at anyone's holdings. It will
- ask you whose holdings you wish to look at. When
- you are finished, type "done".
- _\bs_\bh_\be_\bl_\bl: shell escape: Escape to a shell. When the shell
- dies, the program continues where you left off.
- _\bm_\bo_\br_\bt_\bg_\ba_\bg_\be: mortgage property: Sets up a list of mortgageable
- property, and asks which you wish to mortgage.
- _\bu_\bn_\bm_\bo_\br_\bt_\bg_\ba_\bg_\be:
- unmortgage property: Unmortgage mortgaged pro-
- perty.
- _\bb_\bu_\by: buy houses: Sets up a list of monopolies on which
- you can buy houses. If there is more than one, it
- asks you which you want to buy for. It then asks
- you how many for each piece of property, giving
- the current amount in parentheses after the pro-
- perty name. If you build in an unbalanced manner
- (a disparity of more than one house within the
- same monopoly), it asks you to re-input things.
- _\bs_\be_\bl_\bl: sell houses: Sets up a list of monopolies from
- which you can sell houses. It operates in an
- analogous manner to _\bb_\bu_\by.
- _\bc_\ba_\br_\bd: card for jail: Use a get-out-of-jail-free card to
- get out of jail. If you're not in jail, or you
- don't have one, it tells you so.
- _\bp_\ba_\by: pay for jail: Pay $50 to get out of jail, from
- whence you are put on Just Visiting. Difficult to
- do if you're not there.
- _\bt_\br_\ba_\bd_\be: This allows you to trade with another player. It
- asks you whom you wish to trade with, and then
- asks you what each wishes to give up. You can get
- a summary at the end, and, in all cases, it asks
- for confirmation of the trade before doing it.
- _\br_\be_\bs_\bi_\bg_\bn: Resign to another player or the bank. If you
- resign to the bank, all property reverts to its
- virgin state, and get-out-of-jail free cards
- revert to the deck.
- _\bs_\ba_\bv_\be: save game: Save the current game in a file for
- later play. You can continue play after saving,
- either by adding the file in which you saved the
- game after the _\bm_\bo_\bn_\bo_\bp command, or by using the
- _\br_\be_\bs_\bt_\bo_\br_\be command (see below). It will ask you
- which file you wish to save it in, and, if the
- file exists, confirm that you wish to overwrite
- it.
- _\br_\be_\bs_\bt_\bo_\br_\be: restore game: Read in a previously saved game from
- a file. It leaves the file intact.
- _\br_\bo_\bl_\bl: Roll the dice and move forward to your new loca-
- tion. If you simply hit the <RETURN> key instead
- of a command, it is the same as typing _\br_\bo_\bl_\bl.
