First, in dos, create a empty file by typing:
 echo > nougat.lf
 
 Now start the game.  On the map and on various 
 other screens, you can use the keys 
 
 [0]..[8],[S],[L],[C],[I],[T],[Alt]+[I] 
 
 to do various cool things.
 
 Sorry if this isn't too specific, I got it over 
 an international phone line. :)
