I have had the same troubles on the Sun 3/50's, but I discovered "by mistake" that if you type CRTL-J instead of at the end of a numerical input that the game doesn't complain. This isn't a good solution but at least it will work until a more permanent fix is posted. > A lot of commands are not documentated, like 'a', 'f' etc. etc. > I have no idea how to use those.

We set up a practice world at first to play around with for a week or so, just to let us figure out how to play and get used to the game. If you aren't trying to play to win the first time you sit down with it, it is a lot easier to experiment with the commands and at least get a sense of "oh, if I do this the game will respond with such and such an action". Until there is better documentation it isn't all that hard to figure out how to play the basic game. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ David J Stucki c/o Dept.
