- Standings Help
-
- While standard games are being played, the baseball
- standings appear on the screen, changing daily with the
- new results.
-
- There are three column headings:
-
- W: stands for wins.
-
- L: means losses.
-
- GB: is short for "games behind," which is the difference
- in wins plus the difference in losses, divided by two.
- In other words, this is the number games the team behind
- would have to win and the team in front would have to
- lose to have a tie.
-
- At the bottom is a single button:
-
- GAME SCORES: Click on 'game scores' to see the score of

- box score. The program will save the box on the hard
- disk so you can look at it later using "special box
- scores" on the season menu.
-
- DELETE: the opposite of 'save,' 'delete' removes the box
- from the all time box scores list.
-
- MORE: If the box score contains too many batters to fit on
- the screen at once, click on 'more' to see the rest.

- the printer, plus an extra "how they scored" section.
-
- F6: appends the box score, including a "how they scored"
