The rush of stock market trading is now on your graphing calculator! STOCKZ will let you 
make money or lose money as you buy and sell on the turns of the ticker. Buy and sell any 
of six different companies :

  - BIGM : BigMedia Corp.
  - KSI  : Kansas Instrument
  - SLAY : eSlay
  - PEAR : Pear Computer
  - SLWR : SlimeWarner
  - FBC  : FBC Inc.

---------------------------
TO INSTALL:
---------------------------
Simply run TI-GRAPH LINK or your other Graph Link program and copy the STOCKZ.8XP file to 
your TI-83 Plus or STOCKZ.83P to your TI-83!

---------------------------
TO PLAY:
---------------------------
1. Run the program STOCKZ.
   Press [PRGM], then scroll down to the listing STOCKZ and press [ENTER].
2. Follow the instructions until you get to the first menu.
   Press [ENTER] to proceed to each new screen.
3. The following menu should appear :

       STOCKZ 1.1
   1: ABOUT			- displays program information
   2: STOCK INFO		- displays ticker symbols and current prices for stocks
   3: BUY			- allows you to buy stocks

THE PRICE LIST SCREEN
---------------------------
The price list screen, which appears (1) after you buy or sell stocks; (2) when you choose 
"Update" from the main menu; (3) when you start the game; or (4) when you choose "About" 
from the main menu.
The screen looks something like this :

CASH:5000
BIGM:0       109
KSI :0       30
SLAY:0       53
PEAR:0       52
SLWR:0       82
FBC :0       23

*The first column ("CASH","BIGM",etc.) holds the names of the stocks or "CASH".
*The second column (in this case filled with 0's and one 5000) shows the value of your 
 holdings in that company, or the amount of cash you have.
*Finally, the third column shows the prices of the stocks listed in the first column.
