Civilization I: How do I create tax collectors, entertainers, scientists?

into tax collectors, scientists or entertainers? I know you need five
civilian units and I assume you just click on a unit with the cursor to
cycle through the difft. professions. Am I doing it wrong? Any help
(including perhaps an online manual or a copy of the game (mine might be
bad though scan disk found no problems), I swear I paid for it when it came
out, I'm not a software pirate) would be appreciated.

the city radius window (where it shows which resources are being generated
by which squares in the city radius). Clicking on a square here removes a
citizen currently working on the land and places them in the row of citizens
as an entertainer. You can then click on them to cycle their role between
entertainer, tax collector and scientist. You cannot do this to a citizen
that has not been removed from working in the city radius IIRC.

As I recall, it's just like in Civ2. First you HAVE TO take them off the
farm. Citizens can only be a special type (no matter how many times you
click on them) AFTER you take them off of the plot of land they're on.
In the display which shows the city radius in the city info screen, click on
the citizen you want to remove from his land chores by clicking on the
appropriate square in the radius display. For example, click right on the
icon that shows how much grain/trade/production is coming out of a
particular square. That square will no longer have those production icons
on it and right away one of the citizens in your row of citizens will become
the default special type (I believe it's the entertainer type). Only AFTER
that can you click on the Elvis and cycle through the other special types
for that citizen only.
You can remove a citizen from the land and make him a special type any time
you want to. However, the younger your city is, the less you can afford to
cut into your food and shield production just to make an entertainer.
Once your city gets bigger than the number of land plots in its radius, all
your new citizens are "born" as entertainers and can be similarly modified.
Good luck, as its a fine balance between entertaining your people and
working enough of the city's land squares to keep them all fed.

in the city area, stop the work on one and the workers turn into
entertainers. You then can select whether they be taxmen, elvis, or albert.
