~Y~IAs you can see, this book has been published as in interactive tutorial.
Hopefully you will find it easy to use. There are, however, a few things
you should know before you start to work through the text.
First of all, this tutorial supports both the keyboard and a mouse. How
well your mouse is supported depends on how compatible with a Microsoft
mouse it is.
Also, the tutorial will periodically stop and wait for input. If nothing
seems to be happening, press enter or click the left mouse button. Try it
now.

Throughout the text, you will see things that look like |this|. Any time
you see black text on a grey background, you are looking at a button. To
press a particular button, you must put your red cursor onto it. You do
that by using the arrow keys or moving your mouse. Try moving the red
cursor onto the word "this". Once "this" is red, press the enter key or
the left mouse button.

Hypertext buttons become unavailable once you pass the paragraph that they
are embedded in. To show you what I mean, try pressing this |button|.
After you see the contents of the hypertext box, move your cursor to the
"Continue" button on the bottom of the screen.

Now try accessing the button above. You can't. Your cursor won't go there
anymore because the paragraph in which the button is embedded has been
passed.

Most menus in this system are arranged vertically. That is, the choices
in the menu follow an order like that listed below.
#BN,35,10,46,18,2,0,0,7,15,5
Choice 1
Choice 2
Choice 3
Choice 4
Choice 5

However some menus are arranged like this:
#BN,25,10,56,15,2,0,0,4,15,5
Choice 1 Choice 2
Choice 3 Choice 4
Choice 5 Choice 6
Choice 7

This is usually only the case if there are too many choices to fit into a
vertical menu. Whenever you see a menu arranged like this, the easiest way
to get the correct choice is to always use the right arrow for cursor
movement.
