- Good advice. Start with information that SPEEDISK itself offers.
-
-
- 1. Choose `Information' from the main menu
-
- 2. Choose "Walk Map" from the pull down menu
-
- 3. Mouse over the the unmoveable block
-
- 4. Hit <Enter>. A pop up box will show you exactly what is in the block
- that is unmoveable.
