RE = Resets for new game Musical = Voice and/or sound on/off toggle CL = Clear Entry EN = Enter for moves and selections LV = Level toggles thru levels-punch Enter when you toggle the level you want. DM = Display Move while thinking? PB = Problem Mode PV = Position Verification The other keys represent both files and row numbers depending on sequence. You didn't mention it, but they should have piece symbols on them also for the Problem modes and Position Verification modes. All moves are displayed and entered by the "move from" square(e2) to the "move to" square(e4) Example: to enter your move e2-e4, it takes 5 key strokes. The first key you punch will represent the row and the second key will represent the row number fo the "move from" square. Repeat for the "move to" square and punch enter. The computer will display it's move the same way. Watch out! This baby might blow your shorts off. (just kidding) Regards, Max
