Saving and Restoring Games is explained later.
HOW TO MOVE AND FIGHT
You may use either the keyboard or a joystick to move around Maramon
and fight monsters. The AMIGA version of The Keys to Maramon does
not provide mouse support.
KEYBOARD MOVEMENT
Use the numeric keypad to move in any one of the eight directions:
1 = diagonal down & left
2 = straight down
3 = diagonal down & right
4 = straight left
5 = stops movement
6 = straight right
7 = diagonal up & left

the button to attack a monster in the direction the hero is facing.
You must use the keyboard to activate certain commands when outside.
The commands and appropriate keys are listed in the KeysQRef.txt file.
HOW TO MAKE SELECTIONS
Inside buildings, and in other special locations, your possible
actions are listed on the screen. You may use either the keyboard
or a joystick to select an action. The AMIGA version of The Keys
to Maramon does not provide mouse support.
Keyboard Selections
Select an action from the keyboard by highlighting it with the arrow
keys, then pressing the "ENTER" key or the space bar.
In some cases there will be more choices than will fit on the screen
at once. An example is the list of weapons you can buy at the weapon
store. The arrow keys will show the complete list.
Joystick Selections
With a joystick, select an action by highlighting it with the stick,
then pressing the button.
In some cases there will be more choices than will all fit on the
screen at once. An example is the list of weapons you can buy at the
weapon store. Moving the stick past the bottom of the list will
display more items; then moving it back past the top will display the
previous ones.
SAVING AND RESTARTING
Games can be saved at almost any time by selecting the "Quit" command
or pressing Q. When you do so, you will see four options: "Save
Game," "Restart Saved Game," "Quit," and "Xit."

You may have up to four positions---with the same or different
heroes---saved at the same time. When you select "Save Game," the
four positions are shown, identified with the letters "A through D"
and the names of the positions already saved (if any).
Select one of the four letters (by pressing "A"-"D"), and type a name
for the game position up to 14 letters long as a reminder to yourself.
