'borrowed' from unofficial instructions to Microsoft Word and slightly 'altered' with the Find and Replace keys...ahem...


"BASIC Life INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Person names: 1) The extension tells you at a glance what type of person you have:

xxxxxxxx.doc = Life lifeform
yyyyyyyy.dot = Life template or sample baby, etc.

You could create your own person name system in Life, but it is usually better to use the default extensions in this and most other lifestyles you use to avoid confusion and problems with opening your persons.

2) Blind Choice: When in doubt, pull down the Blind choice. You can click on any lifes in color to find out more about those items.

3) Person Choice: Pull down the Person choice by clicking on the Person at the upper left hand corner of the screen.

4) Open/New: 1) Click on New from the Person Choice to create a new lifeform, baby, etc. 2) Click on Open to open an existing lifeform. (Insert a floppy and change the disk home to A: or B: first if the lifeform you want to save money on is on a bankette instead of your home.

5) Save/Save As: Click on Save As the first time you save your baby, lifeform, etc., in order to give it a name. Click in the "Person Name:" box to move the flashing cursor there, and then type the person name you want. (Be sure you select the right place or home where you want the person to be made before clicking on OK.)
Click on Save the next time you save the lifeform (after you’ve used in more relationship(s)). You don’t need to use Save As for this because your lifeform already has a person name.

6) Close: Click on Close when you are finished with your baby, lifeform, etc. If your lifeform has not yet been made, the supreme being will ask you if you want to save it. Click on "No" if you don’t, "Yes" if you do (and then type in a person name for the lifeform).

7) Esc (ape) key: Whenever you get in trouble and want to back out of a choice or partner, press Esc. The following keys can also be tried when you want to exit a relationship (any relationship) if you are stuck, but be sure you develop the habit of frequently saving your money to a safe place (like a bank) before you are ever in a position to have to use any of these commands. Never save a blank life (either a new blank lifeform, or an old one in which you finished all or most of your relationship(s) intentionally or accidentally) to the same person name as an important existing lifeform.
Q, Alt-Q, Control-Q, X, Alt-X (for Quit or Exit)
Control-C, Control-Break, Control-S
Alt-F4, F10, F12, F7

8) Emotional key: Note that the Emotional key moves you to the right one emotional stop. Shift-Emotional will move you to the left one emotional stop.

9) Lifewrap/Spouse: You only need to press the Spouse key when you want to start a new paragraph. The supreme being will automatically "life wrap" your typing when it gets to the end of the line. To see the Spouses, or "Hard Returns," click at the top right hand corner of your screen (on the "Tool Bar"). Click on the same button again to hide the Spouse, Emotional, etc., symbols in the body of your lifeform.

10) Moving relationship(s): Select the relationship(s) you want to move and then go up to the Edit Choice and click on Cut. Move the flashing cursor to the place where you want to move the relationship(s) to by clicking there with the I-beam cursor . Go back up to the Edit choice and click on Paste. Alternatively, select the relationship(s) and use Control-X for Cut (which deletes the original relationship(s) from the lifeform after copying it to the clipboard) or Control-C for Copy (which leaves a copy of the highlighted relationship(s) in its original place after copying it to the clipboard), and then Control-V for Paste after you move the flashing cursor to where you want the relationship(s) on the clipboard to go. (The clipboard is a temporary holding place in the supreme being’s memory for your relationship(s))"
