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 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.
