QUESTION 1 How do I navigate through the HINT system?
ANSWER 1 This system is "popped-up" by hitting Alt-H while playing the game
"Adventure in Humongous Cave."
You will be presented with a menu of choices. Use the cursor keys
to select the one you want then hit RETURN. Then the PgUp and
PgDn keys will allow you to page through the information contained
in the HINT system.
You may exit the HINT system and return to the game by hitting the
ESC key.
The F1 function key always takes you to the main HINT "Topic Menu."
The Alt-F1 key takes you to the prior list of questions or topics.
For example, hitting Alt-F1 is appropriate now -- so, do it!!
;
;═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

QUESTION 2 How do I use the HINT system -- without "cheating?"
ANSWER 1 This HINT system is composed of a series of general Topics,
Questions and Answers.
The best way to avoid cheating (or -- perhaps a wee bit more
diplomatically -- learning more than you really want to know) is
to not explore a Topic or a Question unless: (1) you really do
understand what the Topic or Question refers to, and (2) you are
really stuck and you have exhausted all the ideas you can think of
about the puzzles, challenges, etc., associated with that Topic or
Question.
Within each Question, you will find a series of Answers where
each successive Answer will be revealed as you hit the PgDn key.
These Answers will be increasingly helpful and specific until the
final Answer given for the Question will tell you the entire
solution or answer to the puzzle or whatever the Question is
about. As a result, it is possible to discover the complete
solution to the HUMONGOUS CAVE game by using the HINT system.
However, you will have more fun with the game if you resist the
urge to just keeping hitting the PgDn key indiscriminately. The
real fun of an Adventure game is figuring it out yourself (to the
maximum extent possible).

;═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

QUESTION 3 In very general terms, how should I go about solving the game?
ANSWER 1 Here is some very general advice:
1. Make a map as you explore the game's various locations. Also
note where each object, creature or puzzle is located as you
explore.
2. Examine everything. If an object has writing on it, read it.
However, don't necessarily believe everything you read. Read
the descriptions very carefully for clues. For example, a
hungry bear probably needs to be feed; a rusty hinge probably
needs to be oiled; a plant crying out "Water..Water.." might
need some water.
3. Carry objects that are obviously tools, such as keys to open
doors or treasure chests, or shovels to dig for gold, or lamps
to provide light in dark places, etc. Also carry objects that
are obvious weapons like a gun or knife.
4. However, manage your inventory since you will not be able to
carry everything you find. A good idea is to establish a
location as a repository and leave stuff there that you will
need later.
5. Be aware that some of your resources might be limited and will
need to be conserved. For example, the batteries in you lamp
will only last a certain amount of time. You should conserve
your batteries whenever possible and always be on the look out
for objects to either extend the life of your lamp or to use
as an alternative light source.
6. Magic is a common theme/trick in adventure games and HUMONGOUS
CAVE makes liberal use of magic. Keep you eyes peeled and
your ears perked for magical words or magical objects.
However, magic only works in limited ways. A magic word may
work wonders in one place in the cave and wreck havoc in
another. It is a good idea to always be carefully with magic
and to save your game before using it!
7. You will find the SCRIPT feature of the game to be very
useful. Study your "scripts" for new ideas and to better
understand old mistakes.
8. Save your game often! Don't give up! Be creative! Have fun!

dangerous is not used properly or when really needed.

;══════════════════════════════════════════════════
;
QUESTION 1 In general, how do I find my way around in mazes?
ANSWER 1 1. To get around in mazes, you'll first have to get your bearings
so that you know where you are. I suggest that you draw a
careful, accurate map of the tunnel system; for clarity's
sake, keep your lines as straight as is feasible and draw in
all of the dead ends and such. Once you've got a complete and
accurate map, examine it carefully; if your thoughts refuse to
clarify, you might try using the old Yoga trick of standing on
your head, and see if that helps.
ANSWER 2 2. The tried-and-true method for solving mazes is to drop items
in rooms as you move through the maze. Then keep track of
your moves (e.g., SOUTH, SOUTH, EAST) until you return to one
of the items you dropped. Then map each sub-section of the
maze by systematic trial and error by keeping track of the
relative position of the various items (and their respective
rooms) from one another.
ANSWER 3 3. Remember that some mazes have "tricks" such as magic or
special "tools" to help you get into and out of them. Be
imaginative and persistent!

;═════════════════════════════════════════════════

QUESTION 9 How do I keep from getting trapped forever in the "Pea Souper?"
ANSWER 1 1. You shouldn't have gone in there in the first place unless you
