Thanks for the feedback. In most graphical games it is necessary to utilize 
fullscreen simply because it speeds up the graphics processing by such a huge 
amount. Running the program in a windowed mode would allow only the most 
current systems to play the game in a non "sluggish" environment. When running 
in full screen, you cannot take advantage of the standard windows help 
component because all controls are simulated, and as such, we were forced to 
create our own help tool. I'll definitely look into setting up a tutorial 
image from the practice mode.

Cheers!
