        You are captain  James T. Kirk,  comanding the  Federation  starship
    Enterprise.  The Organian peace treaty has collapsed, and the Federation
    is at war with the "Klingon Empire".  Joining  the  Klingons against the
    Federation are  the members of the  "Romulan Star Empire".  As commander
    of the Starship U. S. S. Enterprise, your job is to wipe out the Klingon
    invasion fleet and make the galaxy safe for democracy.

    Whenever the <CR> to continue appears, you can continue the instructions
    by pressing  the  "RETURN" key.  Pressing  any other key  will cause the 
    instructions to stop, and the game to begin.

#3            Begining A Game
#4            Begining A Game

     At the begining  of  each game,  you find yourself  on  the  bridge of the
 Enterprise,  while  the  computer initializes itself  for  the current mission.
 At this time,  you  will  be  asked  if  you want to play a Long or Short game,
 whether  or  not you  are a Novice,  Fair,  Good,  or Expert player.  You will
 then be asked  to  enter  a secret code word from  1  to  8  characters,  that
 for, security reasons, will  not  be  displayed on  the screen.  You will then
 be asked  to  reenter the same code word  for verification.  Once this is done
 the computer will initialize, and the game will begin.

     Whenever you have a  prompt where the choices are bold,  just pressing one
 of those  keys  is all  that will  satisfy the prompt.  No "Return" is needed.
                  (0lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk(B

     In this case, just press the L or the S key.  Pressing any other key, will
 just ring the bell.

#3           Entering Commands
#4           Entering Commands

     The next page is a list of the basic commands you might begin with.  There
 is  a  complete list  of  all commands later in this introduction.  A complete 
 description  of  each command and  it's full compliment of optional parameters 
 can  be obtained by the command named COMMAND.  When the computer is ready for 
 a command  the command prompt "CMD: " will appear  at the bottom of the screen,
 and  the  main screen viewing lights will blink.  If no command is entered for
 a while,  the computer will beep now and then.  If still no command is entered
 after a while,  the game will be put on pause,  to save the screen.

      Most commands have optional parameters, that can be placed on the command
 line with the command.  However,  if you do not  specify the parameters on the
 command line, you will be prompted for them.  All commands, and their optional
 parameters can be abbreviated (as long as they are not numerical).

      When entering commands,  the Delete ( <X] ) key,  back-space,  or ^H will
 erase the last character entered. The ^U key will erase the whole command. The
 ^L, or Line-Feed key will recall the last command entered. The Escape key will
 envoke the EMERGENCY EXIT command, clearing the screen for security.

   CMD:COMMAND         To get complete list of all valid commands, and a 
                       description on any one of them. This command may be
                       abbreviated to just a "C".

   CMD:TERMINATE       This command will terminate the current game. It can
                       be abbreviated to just a "TER".

   CMD:EMERGENCY or   "EMERGENCY EXIT" This command will clear the screen
   CMD:EXIT            and wait confirmation on exiting the game quickly.
                       The game will be saved on a file called SAVEWORK.SAV. It
                       can be abbreviated to just an "E", or pressing <ESC>.

   CMD:MOVE            This command is how you move about in the galaxy under
                       warp speed. This command may be abbreviated to an "M".

   CMD:PHASERS         These two commands are how you might kill enimies. They
   CMD:PHOTONS         can be abbreviated to "PHA" or "PHO" respecitively.

   CMD:SHIELDS    To raise, lower, or change deflector shield energy.
                  Shields deflect enemy fire,  and if you don't have them
                  up, you get "Burned".  This command can be abbreviated
                  as SH".

   CMD:SENSORS     This command does a Long Range Sensor scan. If the Long
                  Range Sensors are working, you can scan the adjacent
                  quadrants  in the galaxy.  It can  be abbreviated by
                  just a "SEN".

   CMD:DAMAGES    This instructs Lt. Uhura to ask for a damage report
                  of all  ship-board systems.  This command  can be
                  abbreviated by just a "DAM".

   CMD:DESTRUCT   This command is how you can self destruct. When you do
                  this,  you,  your ship,  your crew,  and anything
                  in your quadrant is destroyed,  and the game ends.
                  This command may be  abbreviated by a "DES".

   CMD:IMPULSE    This command is how you move when your Warp engines are
                  damaged. Don't try to go too far with your Interval Metered
                  PULSE engines, because they take up alot of valuable time
                  because you are traveling sub-light.

   CMD:HELP       This command is how you use the subspace radio to call
                  the nearest starbase, requesting an "Emergency Long Range
                  Transport" into their quadrant.

   CMD:SAVE       These two commands are how you can save the current game
   CMD:OLD        or restore a previously saved game to or from a DOS file.

     -->  200 points for each Super Commander you kill.

     -->   20 points for each Romulan killed.

     -->    1 point  for each Romulan captured.

     -->   10 points for every Dilithium crystal mined for the Federation.

     -->  500 times your average Klingon/stardate kill rate.  

     -->      You get a bonus if you win the game, based on your rating:
              Novice=100, Fair=200, Good=300, Expert=400

#6    Notes on Moving with the Command :
#3                   Move
#4                   Move

     The command MOVE, which can be abreviated to just "M", is what moves you
 about the universe under warp power.  There are two ways  to move under warp
 power. One is "Automatic", and the other "Manual". 

     Automatic means you tell the ships computer where you want to go, and it
 determines how far to go and in what direction.  This means you have to tell
 the  computer  the  row and  collumn  in the galaxy,  which  determines  the
 quadrant, and the row and collumn within that quadrant, which determines the
 sector.

     Manual mode means  you must specify  how far to move  in the Up/Down and 
 Left/Right directions. For those of you who are mathematically inclined, you
 specify a "Delta-X" and "Delta-Y",  where a positive X is to the right, neg-
 ative X is to the left, and positive Y is up, negative Y is down.  In manual
 mode a delta value  of 1.2  means move 1 quadrant, and 2 sectors within that
 quadrant.
.
#6            Move Automatic

     When moving automatically you specify where you want to go by giving the
 computer four numbers.  The four numbers are, in order,  quadrant row, quad-
 rant collumn,  sector row,  and  sector collumn.  So if you want  to move to
 move to the center of quadrant 1-8, you would enter the command :

                    CMD:MOVE AUTOMATIC 1 8 5 5
                                       (0w w w w(B
         - or -     CMD:M A 1 8 5 5    (0x x x x(B
                            (0w w w w    x x x x(B
                            (0mqqqqqqqqqqvqqqqqqqqqq(B> Quadrant Row
                              (0x x x      x x x(B
                              (0mqqqqqqqqqqvqqqqqqqq(B> Quadrant Collumn
                                (0x x        x x(B
                                (0mqqqqqqqqqqvqqqqqq(B> Sector Row
                                  (0x          x(B
                                  (0mqqqqqqqqqqvqqqq(B> Sector Collumn

     Moving automatically reqires the ships computers be fully operational.

.
#6    Notes on Moving with the Command :
#3                 Impulse
#4                 Impulse

     NOTE : The format for the IMPULSE command is the same as the MOVE command.

     In other words,  to move under Interval Metered PULSE engines, substitute
  IMPULSE with the command MOVE. 

     Example :

     CMD:IMPULSE MANUALLY 1.3  -.7 instead of  CMD:MOVE MANUALLY 1.3  -.7

     - or -

     CMD:IMPULSE AUTOMATIC 2 3 5 7 instead of  CMD:MOVE AUTOMATIC 2 3 5 7

     By now, you should have a basic knowlege of the game. At least enough to
 get started.  There are alot more detailed instructions following this page,
 but this might be a good point to get your space legs. Once you have started
 the game,  you can return  to these instructions  by entering in the command
 "INSTRUCTIONS". Remember the basic commands we know so far are :
     TERMINATE       - To terminate the current game, and see your score.
     EMERGENCY or    - To exit the current game quickly, saving the game
     EXIT              on the file SAVEWORK.SAV.
     MOVE            - To move around under warp speed.
     IMPULSE         - To move around under impulse power.
     SENSORS         - Use the longrange sensors to see adjacent quadrants.
     PHASERS         - Shoot enemies with phasers.
     PHOTONS         - Shoot enemies with 1, 2, or 3 photon torpedos.
     DESTRUCT        - To activate the Enterprise's self destruct sequence.
     HELP            - To ask the nearest starbase for help.
     INSTRUCTIONS    - Show these instructions.
     COMMAND         - To get a list of all valid commands or complete
                       description of each command.

 Press "RETURN" to continue instructions, or any other key to begin game.

#6   Commands, Prompts and Control Keys 

     All of the commands in STARTREK can be abbreviated for ease of typing. 
 For a list  of the commands,  and their smallest  allowable abbreviations,
 enter in the "COMMAND" command. Most of the commands can be entered in one
 line, even with all the choices and options. If a required piece of infor-
 mation is not included on the command line, then you will be prompted. 

     There are  two kinds of prompts  that can occur in STARTREK.  They are
 the one-key, menu selection prompts, and multiple character string prompts.
 The "One-Key"  or  "Menu-Selection" prompts  ask you to chose  one of many
 options.  These prompts will always have  single characters in bold.  This
 means  these are the only  valid choices you may make.  Pressing any other
 key than the ones offered  will do nothing but ring the bell.  When making
 a selection to the "One-Key" prompts,  you only have to press  the desired
 key, and no "RETURN" afterwards.  If you are in a command, and you want to
 abort the command,  without taking  any actions,  you can press  the <ESC>
 (escape) key when a "One-Key" prompt occurs.
.
#6   Commands, Prompts and Control Keys 

     Multiple character string prompts will not have bold characters in them,
 and the command must be terminated by a "RETURN". If you are being prompted
 by a multiple characters string prompt  in a command that you want to abort
 without  taking any action, enter the string ABORT or QUIT, and the command
 will terminate.

     Examples :

        One Key Prompt :
            (0lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk(B
            (0x(B Do you intend to ram the Klingon?(Y or N):   (0x(B

#6              Game Hints

     Enemies recharge during your absence.  If you leave a quadrant cont-
 aining a  weakened enemy,  when you return to that quadrant,  he will be
 strong again.  Also,  each time you enter a quadrant,  the  positions of
 everything in the  quadrant (except your ship)  are randomized,  to save 
 you the trouble of trying to  remember where  everything in the quadrant
 is.  Notice that  this refers only  to the  positions  of things  in the
 quadrant. The numbers of each kind of thing are not changed. If you kill
 something, it stays dead.

     Each type of enemy behaves differently. Regular Klingons are the most
 numerous, and are the weakest.  Regular Klingons also stay put, and don't
 move around  when you  are in  the same quadrant.  Klingon Commanders are
 fewer but are about  twice as strong  as regular Klingons.  Commanders do
 not stay put.  If  they have  enough energy,  they  will try  to  advance
 towards you. Be very wary of Commanders next to you. They have been known
 to take desparate action.  Commanders also have a thing  called a  "Long-
 Range Tractor Beam" which they can use,  at random intervals, to yank you
 away from what you  are doing and into their quadrant,  to do battle with
 them.  
.
#6            More Game Hints

     Klingon Super Commanders are even worse!  They are about three times
 stronger than regular Klingons,  and even though they stay put while you
 are in the same quadrant with them,  when you are not around,  they will
 be heading for one of your starbases.  If they reach a quadrant with one
 of your starbases,  your base  won't last long,  so you had  better take
 not take your time to get there to defend your starbase.

     The  Romulans are not as  serious a  threat to the federation as the
 Klingons.  For one thing,  there are not  as many of them.  For another,
 the Romulans  are not  as treacherous.  However,  Romulans are not to be
 trifled with,  especially when  you are  in  violation  of the  "Romulan
 Neutral zone",  which is,  whenever you happen to be near one.  They may
 not be obvious because the Romulans have a cloaking device which renders
 them invisible.  When they are cloaked,  the space star pattern in their
 sector is slightly distorted,  and phasers will not be able to lock onto
 them. When they fire at you, they decloak for just an instant.

     The advantages are not all on the side of the enemy.  Your ship is 
 more powerful,  and has better weapons.  Besides, in this galaxy there
 are from  two to five starbases,  at which you can stop  to refuel and
 lick your wounds, safe from attack or tractor beams. But you had  best
 not dally there too long, since time is not on your side. The Klingons
 are not  just after  you;  They are  attacking  the entire Federation. 
 There is always  a finite "time left",  which is  how much  longer the 
 Federation  can hold out  if you just sit  on your  fat behind  and do
 nothing.  As you wipe out Klingons,  you reduce the rate at  which the 
 invasion fleet weakens the federation,  and so the  "time left"  until
 the Federation collapses may  actually  increase.  Since  Klingons are 
 the main  threat  to  the Federation, the Romulans do not  figure into
 the "time left".  In fact, you need not kill all the  Romulans to win. 
 If you  can get  all the Klingons,  the Federation will abide forever, 
 and you have won the game.

     Space is vast,  and it takes precious time to move from one place to
 another.  Naturally the higher your "Warp Factor" the less time it takes
 to move. In comparison,  other things happen  so quickly  that we assume
 they take no time at all.  Two ways that time can pass are when you move,
 or when you  issue a command to sit still and rest for  a period of time. 
 You will  sometimes want  to do  the latter,  since the  various devices
 aboard your  starship may be  damaged and  require  time  to repair.  Of
 course,  repairs can be made more quickly at a starbase than they can in
 flight.

     In addition to Klingons, Romulans and starbases, the galaxy contains
 (surprise) stars.  Mostly, stars are a nuisance and just get in your way. 
 You can  trigger a star into going  nova by shooting  one of your photon
 torpedoes at it.  When a star novas, it does a lot of damage to anything
 immediately  adjacent to it.  If another  star is adjacent to a nova, it
 too will go nova.  Stars may also occasionally go supernova; a supernova
 in a quadrant destroys everything in the quadrant and makes the quadrant
 permanently uninhabitable.   You may "jump over" a quadrant containing a
 supernova when you move, but you should not stop there.
.
#6            More Game Hints

     Supernovas  may  happen  spontaneously,  without  provocation.  If a
 supernova occurs  in the same quadrant you are in,  your starship has an
 "Emergency Automatic Override"  which picks  some  random  direction and
 some random warp factor,  and tries to throw you clear of the supernova. 
 If the supernova occurs  in some other quadrant,  you just get a warning
 message from starfleet about it (provided, of course, that your subspace
 radio is working).

     Also,  a few  planets are  scattered  through the galaxy.  These can
 sometimes  be a great  help  since  some  of them  will have  "Dilithium
 Crystals",  which are  capable of replenishing  the ship's energy supply. 
 You can either beam down to the planet surface using the transporter, or
 take the shuttle craft "Galileo".

     Once dilithium crystals  have been  brought back  from the ship  and 
 loaded into your ship,  your shield and ships energy will remain at full
 strength, and you can warp safely at any warp power (for as long  as the
 the crystals last.  When you dock,  all of your mined dilithium crystals
 are given to the starbase, for the common good of the Federation.

#6            Summary

     Star Trek  is a rich game,  full of detail.  These  instructions are
 written at a moderate level,  no attempt has been made fully to describe
 everything about the game,  but there is quite a  bit more here than you
 need to get started.  If you are new to the game,  just get a rough idea
 of the kinds of commands available,  and start playing.  After a game or
 two you will have learned everything important, and the detailed command
 descriptions which follow will be a lot more meaningful to you.

#3        How to issue commands
#4        How to issue commands

  When the game is waiting for you to enter a command, the main screen lights
 will blink and the command prompt CMD:   You may then type in your desired
 command. If you press the Escape key at the command prompt, will immediately
 execute the EMERGENCY exit command.  This clears the screen  and asks you if
 you want  to save  your work.  (Very helpfull  when your boss  walks in your
 office.)

  The "Backspace",  "Delete" (<X]),  or Control-H keys  will delete the char-
 acter to the left of the cursor.  The "LineFeed",  Control-L,  or Control-J
 keys clear the current command and recalls the last command.  The Control-U
 key will clear the entire command line.
