HOW AN ADVENTURE WORKS:

     You  are  in  charge of the  main  character...  any  action, 
response  or behavior that the character performs comes from  you. 
When your character asks,  "WHAT SHALL I DO", answer him by typing 
in  2-word  commands from your keyboard.  If  your  character  has 
spotted an item in his vicinity, he might be able to acquire it if 
you tell him to TAKE it or GET it, as in GET BOOK or TAKE HAMMER.

     Be literal and precise. your character is depending on you to 
tell him exactly what to do.  If he or she doesn't understand your 
meaning,  you'll  be told that they don't  understand.  When  that 
happens, try different commands until you find one that works.

     Finding out what commands work and what ones don't is part of 
the fun of an Adventure.  Common Sense helps.  For  example,  your 
character cannot Wear a coat until he has Gotten it first.

     To  find  out what your character has with him at  any  given 
time, type TAKE INVENTORY.

     Some, (but not all!) of the words you might find useful are:

Climb     Examine   Leave     Move      Quit      Say
Drop      Go        Light     Pull      Read      Take
Enter     Help      Look      Push      Save      Wear 


     Solving the mystery is up to you. Good Luck!

     SORCEROR  OF  CLAYMORGUE is an advanced  Adventure.  No  more 
hints  shall  be given to you here.  If you have never  played  an 
Adventure  before,  it is recommended that you start with  another 
one that might be somewhat easier.
