Hi,

some issues with the docs:

lskat chapter Rules:
Each game has a randomly chosen 'trump' card [8]. Note: If heart is selected 
as 'trump' all seven hearts as well as all four Jacks* count as trumps, 
making 11 trump cards.

All four Jacks are counted as trumps and do not belong to their suits. Note: 
If heart is selected as 'trump' all seven hearts as well as all four Jacks 
count as trumps, making 11 trump cards.

Second sentence of each listitem is identical. Would like to change it as 
follows:

- Each game has a randomly chosen 'trump' color [8].

- All four Jacks are counted as trumps and do not belong to their suits.

- If a color (⪚ heart) is selected as 'trump' all seven hearts as well as 
all four Jacks count as trumps, making 11 trump cards.

Objections?

lskat FAQ:
4.11  Where are the high scores?
         <empty para>
lskat has no high scores, only statistics, so either remove 4.11 or rename it 
and give the appropriate answer

lskat Interface Overview:
Game->Clear Statistics
Clears the all time game memory. This statistic is saved when the game ended 
and shows the overall score and the amount of played and won games per 
player. This is cleared with this menu option. 

How to view these statistics?

Having this option enabled is remanded even...

kbounce FAQ
5.3.  How do I start a new game? 
  The start a new game please use the Game->New option on the menubar.
5.4.  How do I restart a KBounce? 
  To restart the game you can use Game->New option on the menubar.

AFAIK there Is no difference between start + restart, so 5.4 should be 
removed.

kspaceduel, kmahjongg, kshisen, kjumpingcube, klines  FAQ:
5.3.  How do I start a new game? 
  kappname loads directly into the game mode; however, the action does not 
start until either player makes the first move.
5.4.
  How do I restart the game? 
  To restart the game you can use Game->New option on the menubar.

In all these games AFAIK there is no difference between start + restart, and 
the answer 5.3 is not suitable for question 5.3.
So I suggest to write only one question (How do I start a new game?) and one 
answer (Game->New, shortcut or button New)
