{This text box appears after the "Who is at this Location dialog box"
This text box will appear every time the user returns to Miller's Court
and has not discovered premise ##}
TUTORIAL MODE|
The first thing you will need to do is to gather clues to solve the murder. Let's start by selecting INTERROGATE from the CLUES menu to see what we can learn from PC Neil. After this use the slider in the Graphics window to examine the next clue at this location. Important premises are hidden within the text. In the Tutorial Mode these have been underlined for you. Position your cursor over any underlined text and either click and drag the underlined text to the Notebook button or shift-click to move the text to the Notebook.[OK]
{This text box will appear every time the user returns to Miller's Court and has discovered premise 82.1}

We now need to search the area around the murder sight for other clues that may have been left at the scene of the crime. In Tutorial Mode your job has been made easier for you. Do you see the inverted rectangle just to the right of the barrel at the bottom of Miller's Court? We have hidden a clue here. Draw a rectangle with your mouse around this area by clicking and dragging the mouse. When you are asked if you want to search this area select Search.[OK]
{This text box will appear every time the user returns to Miller's Court
and has discovered premise 82.1& premise 155.1}
TUTORIAL MODE|
There are no more clues left to discover at this location. You will need to go to either a new location or check your morning newspaper for more clues. Obiously our prime suspect is the ship's cook called Alaska. If we look up information about him in the manual we see that he can often be found at the Ten Bells public house. To go to the Ten Bells public house select Goto under the Location menu.|

To check your morning newspaper select Morning Newspaper under the Clues menu.[OK]
{This text box will appear every time the user goes to 10 Bells}

Now Interrogate Alaska, the ship's cook, and save any underlined premise that you find in the notebook. When you're done at this location make sure that you have read the morning newspaper (under the CLUES menu).[OK]

TUTORIAL MODE|
This map of Whitechapel will allow you to move about the area in search of clues and people. To go to the Ten Bells public house click your mouse once over the nameplate. This will tell you how long it will take you to travel there. To go there directly, double-click your mouse on the nameplate.[OK]
{This text box appears just before the dialog box for naming a premise in the Notebook}

In the next dialog box you will be asked to give your just discovered premise a name so that you will be able to look it up later. Make sure you type in a name that will help you remember which premise this is.[OK]
{This text box will appear every time the user goes to the newspaper and has not discovered premise 800.1}
