   1 "Use compass directions to move about, GET and DROP objects; EXAMINE, SEARCH and look in certain things. TALK to characters, as you may need to instruct them. This can be done by using the formula SAY TO x ""y"". You can omit the verb SAY and the speech marks if you wish."
   1 "Use AGAIN to repeat the previous command, and refer to males and females as HIM and HER respectively, to avoid re-typing their full name."
   1 "To top it all, he informs me that the word """;
   1 "This game supports the usual TAKE ALL etc, as well as EXAMINE ALL. We are sure you will find this facility useful as well as time saving."
   1 "RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD will store and restore your game position to and from memory. Note, however, that this ""snapshot"" will be lost when the power is switched off! QS and QL, alternatives to the above, are also available."
   1 "Please refer to the INFO text, which lists the main abbreviations available and provides additional information on QS and QL."
   1 "It is to my utter HORROR when I am staring into the face (if that's the right word) of a Grue! He introduces himself as, erm, a Grue! He then proceeds to tell me about the Adventurers' Convention in the Royal Angus Thistle Hotel in Birmingham this October. ";
   1 "I think it is now time to load Part Two, my friend!"
   1 "I suppose it was a good thing, since we tended to get straight A's after that. Anyway, enough of my reminiscing - I have to see where these catacombs lead (to the hospital somewhere, I suspect, but I can't be sure where)."
   1 "I recognise the catacombs as the place where Aphrodite and I used to play truant from school. Well, that was until we were caught by the owners of Chips Ahoy - known to all around as Ken 'n' Elsie - and were forced to attend school regularly after that. ";
   1 "I climb down the ladder, taking each step as it comes. Substitute |day' for |rung' and you have a picture of my marital life. Eventually, I find myself in the Chips Ahoy catacombs which, I suppose, are full of hairline cracks!"
   1 "He produces a copy of the |Ormskirk Expatiator' and strolls aimlessly away. Suddenly, there is a shuffle from behind me and, before I have a chance to turn around to see what the commotion is, I feel a sharp blow against my head . . ."
   1 "Don't forget that you can also use QS and QL which are identical to RS and RL respectively, but do not require verification. In other words, they will not impede your progress during the game. Use them warily, though, as they can become as dangerous as RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD if caution is not adopted."
   1 "Abbreviations will suffice for the following commands:":
   1 """ will come in very useful to me in the future (though I've no idea how!)."
   1 " WE for WEAR"
