"	accept\n"
"Accept declarer's claim.  Must be used by each defender for a claim to\n"
"be accepted.\n"
"	alert\n"
"\"Alert some ... text ...\" is equivalent equivalent to \"explain Alert!\n"
"some ... text ...\" and is traditionally used to self-alert bids or\n"
"carding that is slightly unusual.  \"Redalert\" should be used for highly\n"
"unusual bids or carding.\n"
"	autodeal\n"
"After a certain amount of time elapses at the end of a hand, Floater\n"
"automatically deals a new hand if four people are seated.  To control\n"
"the timing, \"autodeal <N>\" sets the number of seconds to wait between\n"
"hands.  With no arguments, \"autodeal\" toggles on and off whether new\n"
"hands are ever dealt automatically.  (By the way, you must be host of\n"
"the table for your autodeal setting to have any effect.)\n"
"	beep\n"
"You may beep someone at your table by doing \"beep <name>\" (e.g., \"beep\n"
"Joe Smith\"), or you may beep everyone at your table by just doing\n"
"\"beep.\"  The bell will ring on the recipient's machine and everyone at\n"
"the table will see a message indicating who has beeped whom.\n"
"	beepAtMyTurn\n"
"There is an option that causes Floater to beep when it becomes your\n"
"turn to bid or play.  To toggle the described behavior, invoke this\n"
"command.  To turn it off, invoke this command with the argument \"no.\"\n"
"To turn it on, invoke this command with the argument \"yes.\"  See also\n"
"the options menu on the GUI.\n"
"	bid\n"
"Make a call.  For example, to bid 3 Notrump, do \"bid 3n\".  Each strain\n"
"is represented by a single letter: c for clubs, d for diamonds, h for\n"
"hearts, s for spades, and n for notrump.  \"Bid p,\" \"bid pass,\" \"bid\n"
"x,\" \"bid xx,\" \"bid double,\" and \"bid redouble\" have the obvious\n"
"meanings.  Unless you have customized the bindings (see \"bind\"), the\n"
"word \"bid\" may be omitted (\"3n\" is the same as \"bid 3n\" and so on).\n"
"	bidButtons\n"
"If you are using the GUI, by default (unless your screen is small)\n"
"Floater displays, during the auction, a set of buttons for bidding.\n"
"To toggle the described behavior, invoke this command.  To turn it\n"
"off, invoke this command with the argument \"no.\"  To turn it on,\n"
"invoke this command with the argument \"yes.\"  See also the options\n"
"menu on the GUI.\n"
"	bind\n"
"Bind is used to create shorthand ways of specifying any command or\n"
"sequence of commands.  For example, \"bind typ say Thanks, pard!\" would\n"
"allow you to subsequently use \"typ\" as if it were a normal command.\n"
"Another example: Blue Club players might do \"bind 1c bid 1c; explain\n"
"Blue club: 17+ points, any distribution.\"\n"
"	bottom\n"
"If you are using the textual user interface, bottom is used to go to\n"
"the bottom of the scrolling talk window.  You may also use the scroll\n"
"command or the up and down array keys to select the portion of the\n"
"scrolling talk window you view.\n"
"	bug\n"
"Do \"bug <arbitrarily long one-line description>\" and an email message\n"
"containing your description and a dump of some internal variables will\n"
"be sent to floater-bugs@priam.cs.berkeley.edu.\n"
"	bugs\n"
"Display the `BUGS' file.\n"
"	c\n"
"Play your lowest club.\n"
"	cards\n"
"Remind me what my cards were at the beginning of the hand.  May also\n"
"be used by kibitzers, with analogous meaning.\n"
"	cc\n"
"Invokes the textual user interface's convention card editor.  By\n"
"default you will be editing your side's convention card, or NS's if\n"
"you are not seated.  (\"Editing\" of a conventioning card other than\n"
"your own is really limited to viewing; changes are not allowed.)  The\n"
"three forms of the command are \"cc,\" \"cc NS,\" and \"cc EW.\"  If you are\n"
"using the GUI, \"cc\" is equivalent to \"ccdump\" because there is no\n"
"built-in editor for the GUI.\n"
"	ccdump\n"
"Show the specified convention card (e.g. \"ccdump NS\").  If none is specified,\n"
"show my convention card if I am seated or NS's otherwise.  Furthermore,\n"
"you may also specify a range of line numbers to display (e.g. \"1-5\" or\n"
"\"23-\" or \"-9\" or just \"17\").  Put the range first, if any, first;\n"
"so, \"ccdump -3\" or \"ccdump 12-16 NS.\"\n"
"	ccload\n"
"Load a convention card from the named text file (e.g. \"ccload sam.cc\")\n"
"and make it the convention card for my side.  You must be seated to\n"
"invoke the ccload command.\n"
"	ccsave\n"
"Save your current convention card to the named text file.\n"
"	changelog\n"
"Display the log of changes to Floater.\n"
"	children\n"
"Show who gets messages from me in the communication tree.  Primarily\n"
"intended for debugging.\n"
"	claim\n"
"As declarer, suggest to the defense that you are certain of some\n"
"number of tricks, and further play is not necessary.  The defenders\n"
"will be shown all four hands and may then use \"accept\" or \"reject\" and/or\n"
"continue playing.  Simply doing \"claim\" claims the rest of the tricks;\n"
"\"claim 3\" would mean a claim to make 3 of the remaining tricks;\n"
"\"claim -2\" would be a claim to make all but 2 of the\n"
"remaining tricks; \"claim 0\" means concede the rest; and \"claim +3\"\n"
"would be a claim for the contract plus 3 overtricks.\n"
"	close\n"
"Stop hosting (or close) your table.  You must be hosting a table for\n"
"this to be allowed.\n"
"	competitive\n"
"Turns on competitive mode.  This is the default.  Results will be\n"
"reported by email for IMPs and MPs.  (Competitive mode is not relevant\n"
"to hearts or rubber bridge.)\n"

"Display the `CONFUSING' file.\n"
"	copyright\n"
"Display copyright and warranty information.\n"
"	d\n"
"Play your lowest diamond.\n"
"	deal\n"
"Go on to the next hand.  May only be used by the host of the table.\n"
"	deiconifyIfBeeped\n"
"Normally when you are beeped by another player (see \"beep\"), your\n"
"Floater window is deiconified if it had been iconified.  This applies\n"
"only to the GUI.  To toggle the described behavior, invoke this\n"
"command.  To turn it off, invoke this command with the argument \"no.\"\n"
"To turn it on, invoke this command with the argument \"yes.\"  See also\n"
"the options menu on the GUI.\n"
"	disconnect\n"
"Close all network connections.  You will become a \"lurker.\"  If you\n"
"are hosting a table at the time you issue the command, it is\n"
"equivalent to \"close.\"\n"
"	down\n"
"A variant of the \"claim\" command.  For example, \"Down 2\" is a claim\n"
"for 2 fewer tricks than you have contracted for.\n"
"	e (or east)\n"
"If the East seat is available, take it.\n"
"	east (or e)\n"
"If the East seat is available, take it.\n"
"	emailchange\n"
"This command may be used to inform the Floater login server of a change in\n"
"your email address.  (Such changes do not apply to the Floater mailing list.)\n"
"You must be logged in to use the command, and you should specify your\n"
"full email address as an argument to the command (e.g., \"emailchange\n"
"bob@aol.com\").\n"

"in on the command line at that moment.  E.g., \"execute ~/floater/foo.\"\n"

"Say something that everyone at the table except partner can hear.\n"
"This is typically used to explain conventional calls to the opponents\n"
"and kibitzers, among other things.\n"
"	find\n"
"Find information about people.  For example, \"find Joe Bob, elmo\" will\n"
"attempt to find information about the players Joe Bob and elmo.  Any\n"
"number of names, separated by commas, is allowed.  Recent information\n"
"about a player's location, if available, is among the things displayed.\n"
"	follow\n"
"Play the card of the named rank.  E.g. \"follow k.\"  Unless you have\n"
"customized the bindings (see \"bind\"), the word \"follow\" may be omitted\n"
"(\"7\" is the same as \"follow 7\" and so on).\n"
"	font\n"
"If you are using the GUI, you may change the font size for the matrix\n"
"and auction by doing \"font large,\" \"font medium,\" or \"font small.\" \n"
"(To change the font size for the talk window, use the \"talkfont\" command.)\n"
"	h\n"
"Play your lowest heart.\n"
"	hideAuction\n"
"If you are using the GUI, you may use this command to control when\n"
"during the first trick the auction is removed from view.  The default,\n"
"which can also be achieved by do `hideAuction -1' is to removed the\n"
"auction after trick one.  The command `hideAuction N' (for positive N)\n"
"will cause the auction to be hidden at the end of trick one or N\n"
"seconds after the end of the auction, whichever comes first.\n"
"	hideCommandLine\n"
"If you are using the GUI, you may have either a talk line by itself,\n"
"or a talk line and a command line.  Use this command with no arguments\n"
"to toggle between the two, or use it with an argument of \"yes\" or \"no\"\n"
"with the obvious meaning.  Note that commands may be executed on the talk\n"
"line by starting the line with a slash (e.g., \"/pass\").\n"
"	hideMatrix\n"
"If you are using the GUI and have a small screen, Floater will, by\n"
"default, hide the matrix during the auction to give more room to other\n"
"things on the screen.  (Your cards appear at the top of the Floater\n"
"window.)  To toggle the described behavior, invoke this command.  To\n"
"turn it off, invoke this command with the argument \"no.\"  To turn it\n"
"on, invoke this command with the argument \"yes.\"  See also the options\n"
"menu on the GUI.\n"
"	host\n"
"Host a table.\n"
"	ip\n"
"Display the IP address and port number that others may use to connect\n"
"to you.\n"
"	join\n"
"Join a table.  You must specify the name of the host of the table you\n"
"wish to join, e.g., \"join moe\".  (Alternatively, you may specify an IP\n"
"address and port separated by a colon, e.g., \"join 128.110.38.14:8765.\"\n"
"Or, to join a table hosted on your local machine, you may omit the IP\n"

"addition, a list of tables currently in play will be sent to you,\n"
"allowing the \"tables\" command to give up-to-date information.\n"
"	make\n"
"A variant of the \"claim\" command.  With no arguments it is a claim to\n"
"make the contract exactly; with a positive integer argument it is a\n"
"claim to make a grand total of that number of tricks plus six.\n"

"If the North seat is available, take it.\n"
"	newuser\n"
"Log in as a new user (see also \"login\").\n"
"	noncompetitive\n"

"which portion of the scrolling text window you view.  For example,\n"
"\"scroll -10\" takes you back 10 lines; \"scroll 20\" takes you forward 20\n"
"lines.  You may also use the bottom command or the up and down array\n"
