  All actions described in quotes and capitalized, will be text you
will enter at the prompt, anything else will be general directions and
guidance , specific notes will be marked as such.

 The game contains several repetitive actions. In order to shorten the
description of these actions, you will perform the following sequence
of events when the described action is given.

*CHANGE CLOTHES
Will mean : "OPEN LOCKER", "CHANGE", "CLOSE CLOSET" go to shower, "ON"
            "OFF", go to locker, "OPEN LOCKER", "CHANGE",
             "CLOSE LOCKER .
 *ENTER CAR
Will mean : "OPEN DOOR", "ENTER CAR", "CLOSE DOOR"

 *EXIT CAR
Will mean : "OPEN DOOR", "EXIT CAR", "CLOSE DOOR"

 *CHECK GUN
Will Mean : "OPEN LOCKER", "PUT GUN IN LOCKER", "CLOSE LOCKER"

 *GET GUN

 Also, the game uses two modes of viewing the action , a "third person"
view which we will call 3-D and an birds-eye view which we'll call O.V
(Overview), so the line ; GO 3-D , will mean "Park and press the F4 key
( or equivalent if your system is not MSDOS) to change perspective"
