You are now choosing a story from the list of existing
story entries. If you chose to read a story, the story
you select will be displayed to you. If you chose to
add, it will be displayed (so that you can review what
has already been written), and then you will enter a full-
screen editor so that you can type in your contribution
to the story.
In parentheses after the name of the story, you can see the
total length of the story in lines. If lines have been
added to the story since the last time you read it, you
will see a '*' symbol before the line count.
To choose from the menu currently on the screen, you can
do one of three things:
1. Type the highlighted letter of the option you want, or
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor down to the option
you want and press the {Enter} key.
3. If you're using a RIP terminal, click on the correct
button with your mouse.
With most terminal programs, you do *NOT* need to turn
Num Lock on to use the arrow keys in this door.
If you have more stories to choose from than will fit on
one screen, you can use the '-' and '+' keys to scroll up
and down on the list. If you have a change of heart ("Naw,
I want to start my own story, not add to *this* junk!"),
you can hit 'Q' to abort and go back to the main menu.
Several "hot keys" will work at just about any time while
you are in Fiction Factory.
Ctrl-Z Brings up help. As much as possible, FictFact will
tailor the help it provides to what you're doing
at the time, so if you're confused, give it a try!
Ctrl-O Lists the people (if any) who are in the game on
other nodes. You may want to send those people
messages, to chat with them, or to work on a story
together so that you can take turns adding to the tale.
Ctrl-E Allows you to enter a one-line message to a user on
another node.
Ctrl-T Allows you to enter chat mode. From there, you can
/PAGE people on other nodes to chat with you.
