Doubly good. I'm not _too_ far from having a working 1.0 prototype available for people to noodle with (assuming that passing data back to the main form from a dialogue box isn't too difficult)...I'll post it in the Downloads section on FredSmythe.com and spread the word here when I have something ready.

I'm curious. Why is the minimum $5? Why not $1? I mean, if you can bet $1 in Final Jeopardy, why can't you do the same on a Daily Double?

Not to disparage your overall question, but you can bet $0 in Final Jeopardy! as well.

Completely uneducated guess: five dollars also was the minimum in the original version, as it was one-half the lowest amount on the board in those days.

Just offhand here: You know what I like about Jeopardy contestants?
Anyone moronic enough to wager \"$420\" on a Daily Double isn't smart enough to pass the contestant exam in the first place.
