+(or the \q{File} menu, on Mac OS X) lets you see a short string (the
+\q{game ID}) that captures the initial state of the current game.
The precise \I{ID format}format of the ID is specific to each game.
It consists of two parts delimited by a colon (e.g., \c{c4x4:4F01,0});
The easiest way to do this is to set up the parameters you want
using the \q{Type} menu (see \k{common-type}), and then to select
-\q{Specific} from the \q{Game} menu (see \k{common-id}). The text in
-the \q{Game ID} box will be composed of two parts, separated by a
-colon. The first of these parts represents the game parameters (the
-size of the playing area, for example, and anything else you set
-using the \q{Type} menu).
+\q{Specific} from the \q{Game} or \q{File} menu (see \k{common-id}).
+The text in the \q{Game ID} box will be composed of two parts,
+separated by a colon. The first of these parts represents the game
+parameters (the size of the playing area, for example, and anything
+else you set using the \q{Type} menu).
If you run the game with just that parameter text on the command
line, it will start up with the settings you specified.
