         Offysoft Presents:
     INFILTRATOR:  The Adventure

 This is an introductory adventure that
will, hopefully be followed by more and
more as time goes by.  Your replies and
comments will strongly weigh in my
decision to produce more of these
adventures for you.

 Now, to get on with this HELP file.
As you probably noticed by the intro,
you will get no help with the actual
adventure game, itself.  The only help
I am going to provide is command
structure, and how to make the little
man do what you want the little man
to do!

 The first thing to get straight is
that I have several abbreviated verbs
in the program so that you can enter
the shorter verb.  The abbreviated
verbs will appear in parenthesis after
the entire verb.

MOVING AROUND:
--------------
 The OBVIOUS exits will be displayed
to you as the room is described.  To
move in one of the directions that is
displayed, simply type the letter that
is shown, and hit RETURN (Hereafter
called <cr>)
 N means North, S means South, U means
Up, D means Down, and so forth.
 To find special exits, if there are
any to find, you will have to use your
brain a little more.

LOOKING AT OBJECTS:
-------------------
 To look at an object, you use the
command EXAMINE (EXAM).  If you get a
reply telling you that is would be
helpful be holding it, then it means
that you cannot observe that object
from long distance.

GETTING ROOM DESCRIPTION BACK:
------------------------------
 If you have typed a bunce of errant
commands and are not getting to see
the room description, then you can
get the room described again by using
LOOK (L).  Remember that this costs
you a turn!

PICKING UP OBJECTS:
-------------------
 To pick up an object in the room, you
can use either of the two famous words
to do so.  GET or TAKE followed by the
name of the object.

DROPPING OBJECTS:
-----------------
 To drop an object, you type just that.
DROP followed by the name of the
object you wish to drop.

OTHER:
------
 Well, I will not go into detail about
the other commands, hence it would make
the adventure easier than it already
is!

SPECIAL:
--------
 Well, one item that I must brag upon
is the capability of using STACKED or
MACROED commands!  You can type in as
many commands as you like on one line
and then press <cr> and they will be
executed in order, providing you have
made no mistakes.
 Here is an example:  Say you wanted
to move east, north, west, get dog,
move east, south, east, and then
drop dog.
 You could do this by typing entering
the following command line:
E.N.W.GET DOG.E.S.E.DROP DOG<cr>

 Another little handy feature is the
use of the word ALL as an object.  If
you want to GET ALL or DROP ALL, then
you can now do it!


 Well, that is about it, and I am
tired of typing.  You will find out
other little hints and clues within 
the adventure itself, so don't get too
discouraged!  If you have not gotten
the Catalog program that I wrote to
keep disk records for you, then get it
today!
 Your response, no matter how little
or how critical it is, is asked for
when you have gotten this game and
played it!  All I ask for is some
type of mail on GEnie to let me know
whether or not to get into making more
of these games!

 If you have never used the mail
feature of GENIE, here is how to send
me a letter!

Type MAIL<cr> at any menu on GEnie.
It will then go to the mail menu, you
should select option 3 (Send Text
Letter).  It will ask you for a mail
address to send the letter to, you
type OFFY<cr>.  For carbon copy, hit
<cr>.  Enter the name of the program
for the subject, then tell me what
you think of the program.  To end the
letter, save and quit, you enter a
*S<cr> at the beginning of a line.

 Thank you for your response in
advance!  Hope to be hearing from you.
If you need a program written, let me
know!.
