CROSSWORD #1 includes 10 easy to medium crosswords for your solving
enjoyment. To select a puzzle, simply use the UP and DOWN cursor keys
to highlight a menu option and press ENTER. The puzzle will then load.
To play a puzzle, use the cursor (arrow) keys to move around the
grid. You will notice that as you do this, the clues for both ACROSS
and DOWN words are displayed at the bottom of the screen and reflect the
clue for the current cursor location. Use the normal letter keys to
enter your solution.
You may press F7 to toggle the cursor mode from ACROSS to DOWN and
vice versa to facilitate entering words into the grid. Space and
backspace are also active keys. Other options include: press F2 to
enter a letter hint at the cursor location, F4 to see the entire
solution, F8 to clear the grid and start over, F1 for a help screen and
F3 to check your solution. With this last option, any letter that is
incorrect will be highlighted in red. You may also save to disk a
partially completed puzzle by pressing F6 and restore this puzzle to the
screen by pressing F5. Press ESCAPE to return to the main menu.
Other options from the MAIN MENU include setting the current
DRIVE/PATH for loading puzzles, SHELLING to DOS and ending the program.
If you shell to DOS, type "EXIT" at the DOS prompt to return to the
program.
MOUSE control: You may also use the mouse to run this program. On
the Main Menu screen, simply click on the option you wish to choose.
When playing a puzzle, clicking the left button within the grid will
move the cursor to that location. You may also click on the function
key definitions to implement their procedures.
