Pete, a 7 legged spider and system mascot, has managed to get himself lost
in the CROSS CONNECT office. Help him find his way back into the system and
to his home under the F3 key by telling him what to do. North, South, East and
West directions can all be retraced, but once Pete spins a web, that direction
is closed off. There are no hidden traps...keep at it and you will eventually
find out how to get Pete home.

Pete is on top of the floppy disk file. Inside are over 100 formatted disks
upon which are saved countless terrific programs. Unfortunately, few of the
disks bear labels that even remotely resemble their contents, so the SysOp can
rarely find what he's looking for. Which way?

Home at last!
Pete thanks you profusely as he crawls back under the F3 key. He would
shake your hand, but he's afraid he might loose another leg.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID IT!
