Somewhere nearby is Colossal cave, where others have found
fortunes in treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some
who enter are never seen again. Magic is said to work in the
cave. I will be your eyes and hands.

Direct me with commands of 1 or 2 words. I should warn you that
I look at only the first five letters of each word, so you'll
have to enter "northeast" as "ne" to distinguish it from
"north".

There are 7 special words that you should know about. First the
word "quit" ends the game at any point you wish. Next is the
word help which is the way you got here but it may be used at
other times if you get stuck. If I can I will give you hints
when you enter "help".
        
Another important word is "inventory". If you enter inventory I
will tell you everything that you are carrying. "look" will
cause a repeat of the current location description.  The fifth
is "score" At any point in the game I will tell you how many
points you have.
        
The next word is "preserve". This permits you to save the curent
state of the game for future continuation. Respond to the
question with the desired name, and after the game is saved you
may either just continue or else "quit". To restart from the
monitor just type in "AD GAME return" where "GAME" is name under
which preserved.
        
The last word is "restore". This may be used during the course
of a game to reinitiate a previously "preserve"d game without
having to reload from the beginning.
        
With respect to your keyboard input:  1.  input is expected in
lower case characters.  2.  Deletion of characters is done with
the "BS or backspace" key.  3.  Line delete is done with the
"control X".  4.  Control C returns you to the system monitor. 

There is a possibility of your falling out of the SAM76 program,
this is evidenced by inaction regardless of your commands. Try
recovering by typing the following: %**/ followed by a return.

If this version is multilingual you may switch by demanding the
desired language thus: francais for french, deutsch for german
&c. 

This program was originally developed by Willie
Crowther. Most of the features of the current program were added
by Don Woods (Don @ Su-Ai). This SAM76 implementation was done
in major part by Jim Manning. More features were added by
Ancelme Roichel et al. Harley Licht proof tested and verified
this version for reasonable authenticity.
