These commands are listed below in italics. Two of these keyboard-only commands require additional explanation: The Hand- edness command and the Save to .GIF command. Handedness. Some players find iteasier to click-and-drag with the left mouse but- ton than with the right. The oe allows Pressing reverses the function of each mouse button. So, for example, you jand use the right mouse- e. All functions normally associated with the right mouse-button would then be controlled by the left. Save to .GIF.

Movement To move, push or pull the joystick in the direction you wish to go — push forward to move forward, pull back to move back, and so on. Your speed is determined by how far you push or pull the joystick. The farther you move the stick, the faster you move. (Note that you can't sidestep or jump when using the joystick — you must use the keyboard commands.) Selecting Options To control cursor movement (to. select one of the game icons, for ex- ample), press joystick button #1 and move the joystick. Moving the stick while button #1 is pressed moves the cursor, not your character. (Since buttons vary from joystick to joystick, a bit of experimentation may be necessary in order to determine which button is #1 on your stick.) Actions normally accomplished with the right mouse-button are accomplished by selecting an icon, moving the cursor and pressing joystick button #2 when the cursor is over the person or object with which you want to interact. Some actions may require you to keep both joystick buttons pressed simultaneously. For example, to pick up and move an object from the view window into your inventory, you would first press button #1 to move the cursor over the Get icon. Press button #2 to select this icon. Then press button #1 again and move the cursor over the object you want to pick up. Now, press button #2 while keeping button #1 pressed to pick up and move the object. When it is over the appropriate circle in your inventory, release both buttons. The object will fall into place. Note that you can combine joystick and keyboard controls to increase efficiency. (In the example above, you could simply press to select Get mode, saving yourself time and effort.) In Brief To move: No button, move joystick. To control cursor: Button #1, move joystick To emulate right mouse-button: Button #2 UW2REF/1292/11
