               Welcome to QUEST.  Here in Quest you're goal 
          is to attain power in the kingdom by invading and 
          claiming towns.  
                Upon first entering Quest, you will select a 
          character randomly selected.  You're attributes are a 
          variable from 5 (the worst) to 19 (the best).  The 
          following are the attributes:
               
                    Strength -     is needed when you attack.
                    Intelligence - is valid on who attacks 
                                   first.  
                    Dexterity -    you're flexibility, 
                                   important on defence.
                    Constitution - Endurance, needed if 
                                   resurrected.
                    Charisma -     personality, important on 
                                   the purchasing of 
                                   Henchmen.  
                    
               The main menu has 4 options.  The first is profile, 
          this shows you're current status.  After the first page 
          is displayed, to view the Towns you own you must hit 'T' 
          key as shown.  
               The second is the Supply Store, here you can buy 
          Armour, Weapons and provisions.  Provisions are 
          essential for you're henchmen.  NOTE: if you but a new 
          weapon or armour, the old item is thrown away.
               The third is the Tavern.  Here option 1 is resting.  
          After you rest you're hit points will all be restored to 
          you're maximum amount.  The second option here is asking 
          for a job.  You will soon find out what kind of man the 
          owner is, when you ask for a job there.  The last option 
          in the Tavern is the purchasing of Henchmen.
               The final choice on the main menu is Visit other 
           Towns.  Here if you own a town, you may reinforce it.  
          If you plan on invading a Town it will be done here 
          also.
               If you plan on entering a town that is not yours 
          you must engage in battle.  Here, you fight the present 
          henchmen leader while you'r army of henchmen fight the 
          rest of the towns henchmen.  You must defeat both the 
          henchmen leader and the henchmen in order to claim the 
          said town.  After doing so, you will own the remaining 
          gold, provisions and live henchmen.  You have to keep at 
          least 20 of each in you're town for reinforcements.
               You only have 20 minutes a day to play.  If you 
          don't use all the time, you may call back that day and 
          finish the rest.    
               You'r level is incremented by every 1000 experience 
          points.  Upon an new level, you're constitution is added 
          to you'r hit points.
               If in battle you die, you have a 1 in 20 plus 
          you're constitution chance of getting resurrected.  If 
          you are resurrected 1 point of constitution is 
          subtracted, as well as 2 of you'r maximum hit points.
