Hi Sheri, The menu you are referring to starts and stops the simulation between choices for a particular turn. To use it you must be on a particular turn of the game and have generated choices (either using Quackle's generate choices button, Move menu, entering your own choices manually using the Move box right over the board, or typing your choices directly on the board). If you aren't on a turn with choices generated, the menu will be grayed out and the start/stop simulation on the toolbar won't work either. Here's what I usually do to simulate a live game I have played. I enter the whole game, including my racks, then chose one of two reports from the Report menu. The full game HTML report is pretty, but does no simulation, I believe it uses Quackle's static evaluation tools. For a report which considers board position and tiles remaining, I request the championship players full report. Be prepared to wait (it takes about 10 minutes on my 1 year old previously smokin' laptop). To open the files in windows I need to add an extension, .htm for the HTML report, .txt for the championship report. Please feel free to email me if anything above isn't clear, or if you have other questions. Your ISC friend, Lynda Finn
