Dear Parents,

This game requires text that is input from the keyboard.
Often this is hard for a child to do.

To make playing easier you should teach your child to
use function keys.  They are:
F1=GET   F3=EXAMINE   F5=OPEN   F8=LOOK   F10=HELP 
To help your child we suggest that you label your computer's
function keys or make a template.

The game also has abbreviations for directions.
NORTH= N or the Up Arrow         NORTHWEST= NW or the Home Key
SOUTH= S or the Down Arrow       SOUTHWEST= SW or the End Key
EAST=  E or the Right Arrow      NORTHEAST= NE or the Pg Up Key
WEST=  W or the Left Arrow       NORTHWEST= NW or the Pg Dn Key
Other acceptable abbreviations are EX=Examine, EXT=Extinguish
L=Look, I=Inventory, H=Help, Q=Quit

The F7 key will list the items that the child is carrying. SAVE
will save the present game that the child is playing to disk.
