FIRST THINGS FIRST
The ReadMe File
The

file in order to benefit from changes made after this manual went to print. To view this file, double-click
on it in the
SCRABBLE Online
game directory found on your hard drive (usually C:\Program Files\Atari\
Scrabble Online). You can also view the ReadMe file by first clicking on the Start button on your

taskbar, then on Programs, then on Atari, then on Scrabble Online, and then on the ReadMe file.
In-Game Help System
This manual complements the in-game Help system, which you can access by clicking on the HELP
