Minehunt is located under UTILS in the Equation library.  The button
says "MINE."  The object of the game is to move from the upper left
corner to the lower right corner without hitting any of the hidden
mines.  At any given time, it will tell you how many of your 8 neighboring
squares are occupied by mines.  From there on it's a combination of
logic and blind luck on your part.  The game ends when you either reach
the lower right corner or move onto a mine and go boom.

The default number of mines in the 16x8 grid is 20, but this can be
changed by placing a variable "Nmines" in your home directory.  The
number of mines can be anywhere from 1? to 64, inclusive.  If you don't
like any challenge whatsoever, make the Nmines variable negative and
the mines will be displayed rather than hidden.

				Good luck,
				Obi-Wan
