As you may already have discovered, Rex's story has
 several possible endings, only one of which is a "happy"
 one.  You can watch each of these endings simply by
 typing the proper command from the DOS prompt:
 
 mainmenu -w:1             ("A Quick Death")
 mainmenu -w:2             ("An Honorable Death")
 mainmenu -w:3             ("Victory!")
 mainmenu -w:4             ("The Decompression Ending")
 
 The last of these (mainmenu -w:4) shows the epilogue
 only, since the decompression itself is handled with
 special program code instead of an animation script.
 
 Be sure to play through the game normally first, so that
 you won't spoil the ending for yourself.  Then, use the
 command line options to bring up "instant replays" for
 your friends.
 
 Cheat Mode!
 
 That's right.  Rex Nebular does in fact contain a
 special "cheat mode" that we used during development.  Now
 you too can make use of this special, privileged set of
 keyboard commands.  One word of warning, however, before
 you begin: these cheat keys were designed to be used by
 experienced programmers (nyuk, nyuk).  Mostly, that means
 that if they are not used with great care, the cheat keys
 can cause the game to crash or cause Rex to get permanently
 stuck somewhere.  We'll tell you how to get into cheat mode
 and give you a few basic pointers on how to use it, but the
 rest is entirely AT YOUR OWN RISK!  Remember also that once
 you turn cheat mode on in a game, it will remain on even when
 you save that game (so any damage that might have been done
 by cheat mode will remain in effect for that game when you
 restore it).  To turn cheat mode off, you must either start
 a new game or restore an old game from before you started
 cheating.
 
 Finally, we STRONGLY suggest that you play Rex all the way
 through before turning on cheat mode.  First and foremost,
 this prevents cheat mode from spoiling the game for you.
 Secondly, it gives you a better idea of the intended story
 line of Rex (so that when you completely foul it up with
 cheat mode you will realize what is happening).  We must
 emphasize that cheat mode is really nothing more than a way
 to go bashing around the planet in the wrong order and at
 the wrong times.
 
 How To Activate Cheat Mode
 
 To activate cheat mode, you must first either start a new
 game or restore an old game.  Next, press the CTRL key and
 hold it down.  While continuing to hold down the CTRL key,
 type the letters W, I, D, E, P, I, P, E in sequence.  When
 you are finished, a grey box containing the message "Cheat-
 ing Enabled" should appear (if it does not, try again from
 the beginning--you must have missed a key).  Once the grey
 box appears, you can release the CTRL key.  Then, press the
 SPACE bar to clear the message from the screen.  You are now
 in cheat mode!
 
 Cheat Mode Options
 
 Once you have entered cheat mode, you can teleport yourself
 to any location in the game.  To do this, press the CTRL-T
 key.  A grey box will pop up and ask you where you want to go.
 Just type in the proper room number and "poof"--you're there.
 The tricky part, of course, is finding out the proper room
 number.  If you type in an invalid room number, the game will
 abort with the <KernelNoRoom> error.  Here is a list of valid
 room numbers that you can try:

 You can find out what "room" you are in at any time by pressing
 CTRL-P.  The grey box which appears will tell you the current
 room number (among other things).
 
 The CTRL-O key allows you to move objects around.  When you press
 CTRL-O, you will be asked for an object number (valid numbers
 range from 0 to 54, with the exceptions of 18, 38, and 44).  You
 can then move the object to any desired location ("2" moves it to
 your own inventory; "0" gets rid of it).  Moving objects is ex-
 tremely risky, since typing an invalid object number is almost
 guaranteed to crash the game.  We'll let you figure out which
 objects are which by trial and error.  We will, however, give you
 one example: Press CTRL-O. Then type the number "39" (for detonat-
 ors) and press ENTER.  Then type the number "2" (for player inven-
 tory) and press ENTER.  You now have the detonators!
 
 We recommend that you DO NOT attempt to use the CTRL-G option (to
 change global flags).  Bad, horrible things could happen.
 
 While Rex is walking somewhere, you can press the SPACE bar to
 scoot him along his path quickly.  The risk here is that occas-
 ionally you will get Rex "stuck" so that he can't move at all;
 if this happens, press CTRL-Z.  Pressing the SPACE bar occasion-
 ally has other bizarre effects (such as causing all the people on
 the screen to disappear).  These exciting bonus features can also
 generally be corrected by pressing CTRL-Z (see, isn't cheat mode
 neat!).
 
 Several other strange and wonderful cheat options exist; they
 have not been described here, but you may find them with a little
 experimentation.  Use them at your own risk!!!
 
 One of these features is the "frame by frame" mode which will be
 activated if you accidentally press the CTRL-F key.  The game will
 appear to "freeze up", but you can restart it by pressing CTRL-F
 again.
