P L E X U S 1.0 I N S T R U C T I O N S
PLEXUS is a word game with quotations, word lists and scrambled
letters. It will run on any PC or clone with color or monochrome
monitor.
Start the program by typing PLEXUS<Enter>. PLEXUS will display a
START-UP MENU. Type I<Enter> if you want to read instructions. Press
<Enter> to begin play.
The PUZZLE SELECTION DISPLAY shows you which puzzles you have played
and lets you choose puzzles. If you press <Enter> without typing a
puzzle number, PLEXUS will select a puzzle for you.
The PLEXUS game display shows a list (up to four columns) of words
with scrambled letters and underscores next to each word. Most puzzles
also show a few letters as hints. When you figure out a word, type it
on the underscores. The letters will also appear in the quote at the
bottom of the screen.
When you move the cursor you will see a highlight jump around the
screen. Type a letter at the cursor location (on an underscore) and
the letter also appears at the highlight location. This highlight
shows letter correspondence between the word list and the quote.
When you recognize words in the quote tou can move the cursor down to
the quote and type there. The letters will also appear in the
corresponding places in the word list.
Begin solving with the smaller words. Then go back-and-forth between
the word list and the quote until you get all of the letters. When you
solve the puzzle PLEXUS will beep and flash a message.
Press[F9] to see the solution to a puzzle. Press <Esc> to go back to
the PUZZLE SELECTION DISPLAY. Press <Esc> twice to quit PLEXUS and
return to DOS.
NOTE: Many of the smaller words used in PLEXUS have several anagrams.
For example, the letters DRAE might be DEAR, DARE or READ. If you have
entered all of the letters in a puzzle and PLEXUS does not announce
the solution, try to spot the wrong letters in the quote. Move the
cursor to the wrong letter, and the highlight will show you which
scrambled word to reexamine.
PLEXUS 1.0 consists of the following files.
