                         HI THERE, GAME LOVER

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Take a couple of minutes here to read this brief list of comments
and instructions.  It will make playing the accompanying game more
enjoyable for you.


1.-  Not everyone likes blue (in this case: cyan) text.  If you
     wish to change the text colors, wait until you get the first
     blinking cursor; then to change the colors type:

     COLORS YELLOW CYAN <RETURN> to reverse the default colors, or
     COLORS YELLOW YELLOW to get all yellow text, or
     COLORS LIGHTGRAY LIGHTGRAY to get all lightgray text, or
     COLORS YELLOW RED to get, you guessed it, yellow and red, or
                 Other combinations of the above, or
     COLORS DEFAULT to get back to what the game started with, or
     COLORS MONO if you like black and white.

2.-  A partial list of the verbs understood by "THE PILOT" include:

     OPEN           CLOSE          LIFT           LOCK
     TAKE           GET            GIVE           UNLOCK
     PUSH           PULL           TURN           LIGHT (Turn On)
     YELL           PUT            INSERT         EXTINGUISH (Turn Off)    
     REACH          TOUCH          PLUG           SMELL     
     MEASURE        TIE            CLIMB          JUMP 
     STRIKE         FIND           LISTEN         FEED 
     SHOOT          POUR           KICK           KISS 
     SHAKE          DRIVE          FEEL           BURN
     EAT            DRINK          PLAY           WEAR
     REMOVE         ATTACK         STAB           SCREAM

         Directions: N-E-S-W-NE-NW-SE-SW-UP(U)-DOWN(D)-ENTER-EXIT

     Shortcut commands:

     EXAMINE (EX)   LOOK (L)       AGAIN (G)      INVENTORY (I)
     THROUGH (THRU) QUIT (Q)       LIGHT (LT)     EXTINGUISH (EXT)

     Other commands:

     SCORE     (to show current number of points out of maximum score,
                and other activities related to the game)
     SCRIPT    (to print out screen activity)
     UNSCRIPT  (to end above)
     SAVE      (to save a position; you must name the Save)
     RESTORE   (to restore a saved/named position)


     If at any time during the game you get the response: 

     "You see nothing unusual." or "Sorry, you can't do that ...."
     
     you can be sure that what you just tried is of no importance
     to the outcome of the game.  In addition, the program will
     tell you if it doesn't understand a verb or a noun; again,
     this means that it has no effect on the game.  Sometimes you
     may need to phrase your command differently in order to do or
     obtain something.

3.-  "THE PILOT" was written using the "ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT," a
     program by David R. Malmberg and Mark J. Welch, which was adapted 
     for use with the Atari ST computer by Harry L. Callesis.

     Neither "THE PILOT" nor the "ADVENTURE GAME TOOLKIT" are public
     domain or free software, but are distributed as "Shareware."
     
     If you are a regular user of a "Shareware" program you should
     pay for your copy and become a registered user.  It is the income
     from your registration fees that enables authors to continue to
     provide product support, create new products or enhancements to
     old ones, and stay in business.  You will find that costs of 
     "Shareware" programs are generally lower in cost and frequently 
     equivalent in quality to those sold in conventional stores or 
     through mail-order houses.
