- Edit | Backpacks | Duplicate Items | William Dean
- -------------------------------------------------
- Down to your last Medkit? Do you wish there was a way to duplicate
- this item? Well if you answered "yes" to this question then this
- option is for you. This option allows you to duplicate any item
- in your inventory as many times as you wish (NOTE: Program
- limitations will only allow you to carry 40 items at a time).
-
- For example, if William Dean has one Medkit in his inventory, you
- need only select Medkit and he will have two. All duplicated items
- will be placed at the end of the inventory list.
-
- Keyboard users use the TAB and ARROW keys to select items.
- Mouse users just double click the item to be duplicated.

- Edit | Backpacks | Transfer Items | William Dean
- ------------------------------------------------
- Tired of having to go to a planet to drop items for another
- character to pick up? This option will allow you to transfer
- items from one character to another.
-
- When this dialog box is displayed you will see an inventory list,
- four character buttons, and one cancel button. You will also notice
- that one of the four character buttons has been disabled. The reason
- for this is because you do not want to trade with yourself.
-
- If there are any other disabled buttons besides the current characters
- this means their inventory is full and they cannot accept any more
- items.
-
- Keyboard users may use the TAB and ARROW keys to select items and
- buttons.
-
- Mouse users may double click items and single click buttons.

- Edit | Warehouse | Stock Minerals
- ---------------------------------
- This option will allow you to stock any of the warehouse minerals.

-
- Edit | Warehouse | Return Items | William Dean
- ----------------------------------------------
- This option will allow your character to return almost any item
- to the warehouse. As you will notice when the dialog box opens
- not all of your inventory appears in the list. This is because
- of restrictions I have had to place on the warehouse.
-
- RESTRICTION: Any item you wish to return to the warehouse must
- already exist and there must be at least one on
- hand. For example, let's use a Medkit. If the
- warehouse shows a picture of a Medkit, but there
- are 0 on hand you will not be allowed to return
- any Medkits to the warehouse. If the warehouse
- shows a picture of a Medkit and there is at least
- 1 on hand you may return as many Medkits as you like.
