The roll command

    Syntax:  roll

    Use the roll command to tell the server to roll the dice for you. The server program then tells you the two numbers it rolled for you and how many pieces you have to move.

    If you are not allowed to double because you don't own the cube or the crawford rule applies the server will roll for you automatically. If you set your double toggle to NO the server will roll for you even if you were allowed to double instead.

    roll can be abbreviated by typing r.

    Note: In MacFIBS, you can roll by using the Game > Roll (Cmd-R) menu command, or by clicking the icon that appears in the center of the right side of the backgammon board.
