a working area. The status information will include the players’ scores, the number of
chances remaining to answer a question, the current level, and the time indicator. At the
right side of the screen, there are several icons displayed. They include the Quit icon,
the Help icon, and the Up/Down arrow icons. The Up/Down icons are used to scroll the

with your mouse, you can also press the Up/Down cursor keys on your keyboard.
