MEANING OF NUMBERS IN COMMAND AREA :

       DOLLAR :      NUMBER OF WALL-ELEMENTS.
         STEP :      TOTAL NUMBER OF STEPS THAT MOUSE RUNS.
       RESTEP :      NUMBER OF REPEAT STEPS THAT MOUSE RUNS.

     SHORTCUT :      NUMBER OF SHORTCUT-STEPS. 
     
    ROOT PASS :      TIMES WHEN THE MOUSE PASS THE ORIGINAL POSITION. 
     

* 80 column card in slot 3 is needed.
* Set AppleWin's custom speed to fastest limit is much better.  
  (function "optimize route" will take hours if you don't raise up the speed.) 

Have fun
