COMMAND :

              I
             J K     ADD ELEMENT OF WALL TO BUILD MAZE.  
              M 


              Y
             G H     DELETE ELEMENT OF WALL TO BUILD MAZE.
              B  


             ^Y
           ^G  ^H    JUST MOVE CURSOR,NO ADDING OR DELETING ELEMENT OF WALL.
             ^B 


              R      BEGIN TO RUN THE MOUSE.

                     (USED RULE-LINE WILL BE SHOWN ON THE STATUS BAR AFTER RUNNING).

                     (FOR TARGET MODE : BORDERS OF THE DESIGNING AREA ARE THE INVISIBLE WALLS,THE MOUSE CAN'T PASS THROUGH THEM).

                     (WHEN THE MOUSE PASS A TRAP UNIT,IT WON'T USE THE SAME RULE TO GO,
                      WHEN IT STUCK IN THE TRAP,IT WILL LEAVE THE TRAP BY ITSELF ). 
              

                     (IT IS A REALTIME WORK TO EDIT TRAP MAP.(EDIT TRAP MAP WHEN THE MOUSE IS RUNNING).)

                     (FEATURE OF TRAP : WHEN THE MOUSE TOUCH THE TRAP AND THEN LEAVE IT,
                                        THE TRAP WILL TURN INTO THE ELEMENT OF WALL.    

                                        TRAP UNITS ARE BOTH ADVANTAGES AND DTSADVANTAGES FOR THE MOUSE,
                                        THEY CAN STICK THE MOUSE AND THEY CAN ALSO GUIDE THE MOUSE TO REACH THE GOAL.) 

                                          
                       I
                      J K     ADD ELEMENT OF TRAP TO BUILD TRAP MAP.  
                       M 


                       Y
                      G H     DELETE ELEMENT OF TRAP TO BUILD TRAP MAP.
                       B  


                      ^Y
                    ^G  ^H    JUST MOVE CURSOR,NO ADDING OR DELETING ELEMENT OF TRAP.
                      ^B                   


                      
              E      RUN WITH THE SAME RULE (THE SAME AS LAST ONE)

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

Have fun
