INSTRUCTIONS
============

To move yourself (Randall) around use the cursor keys to move around in the corresponding direction that’s printed on the key. To get the command prompt hit the spacebar, or press the enter key. This will also stop movement of you on the screen. To exit out of the command prompt just hit the return key again. The command prompt lets you examine things, look around, and make Randall do things. A common command that should be the first thing you do when entering a new screen is to type LOOK, to get a feel for your surroundings.

Other important commands are as follows:

INV or INVENTORY - gives you a list of available items that you have on your person
EXAMINE <OBJECT> - examines the object
LOAD - loads an already saved game, type in the name of the game (the extension of .sav is automatically put on)
SAVE - saves a game in progress, type in the name to save
TAKE or GET <OBJECT> - adds the object to your inventory assuming of course there is an object to take
DROP <ITEM> - drops an item on the screen you are currently on
QUIT - quits to dos

There are many specific things you have to do with specific objects but you will have to find those on your own.

There are a few function key commands available in the walking mode:

F1 - HELP general help screen
F2 - SOUND ON/SOUND OFF turns the sound on or off (* important the sound will stay off for all subsequent games unless it’s turned back on)
F3 - BLANK SCREEN blanks the screen, hit any key to return to the game

TIPS
====

Be sure to check everywhere, if you are stuck try everything with all your objects. Some of the problems are hard, try to do everything possible.
