INTRODUCTION
The game of diplomacy is played in years consisting of three seasons: Spring,
Fall and Winter.  The Spring and Fall turns are when the players issue orders
for movement of their existing units (armies and fleets).  In the Winter turn,
supply center owners

HOW TO ISSUE ORDERS (Spring and Fall turns)
There are three possible orders for each unit on the board: hold, move or
support.  In addition, fleets have a fourth option, "convoy" of an army from
one coast to another.  In general, orders are issued by selecting the
provinces involved.  This is done
the province and clicking the left mouse button.  Each order requires 3
provinces:
   the province containing the unit being ordered,
   the province containing the unit that is moving,
   and the destination province.
Clicking on these three provinces is usually enough to fully describe the
order.

   HOLD: click three times on the province containing the unit.
         (remember to click on the NAME of the province)

   MOVE: click twice on the province containing the unit to move;
         click the province where the unit is going.

SUPPORT: click the province containing the unit providing the support;
         click the province containing the unit receiving the support;
         if the supporting unit is a fleet in the water and the supported
         unit is an army on the coast, then a requester will ask you to
         select between "support" or "convoy"; select "support";
         click the province where the supported unit is going/staying.

 CONVOY: same as SUPPORT but select "convoy" at requester.  Note that a
         convoy order is not valid unless the unit being convoyed is ordered
         to move to the same province.

A text representation of the order will be constructed in the upper right
message area as each order is input.  The entire list of orders can be viewed
on-screen or printed out at any time during order entry by selecting the
proper item on the "orders" me

When all orders have been entered correctly, a click on the end gadget in the
lower right corner will signal the computer to resolve the orders.  A
requester will ask where to print the results of the orders.  Sending this
list to the printer ("print") is

After the order results have been listed, the map is adjusted based on these
results and all required retreats, if any, are announced.  The computer will
then request the destinations for each retreating unit.  The "end" gadget can
be used to order a unit to disband.

ADJUSTING UNITS (Winter turn)
At the end of the Fall turn, the computer will automatically adjust supply
ownership.  Then the numbers of supplies owned will be compared to the number
of units deployed for each power.  Build or disband orders will be requested
from each power as required.
