The Last Half of Darkness

Your aunt sure was a strange one. She was some sort of witch or something.
A good witch though, practicing only good spells and magic. In fact, she was
working on a potion just before she was killed. Now the secret will go to
the grave with her...  unless you can find the missing ingredients.

You, being her only living heir received news and came quickly to find out
she had plans for you to continue with her work. You gain title to her
estate and her fortune only if you continue with her studies in the field of
magic.

1. Load the mouse driver (if available)
2. Load SPEECHV3.EXE (if available)
3. Enter the /LASTHAF directory
4. Type INSTALL to configure setup.
5. Type LASTHALF and then press <ENTER>.

Using the keyboard
If a mouse is not available the keyboard must be used. Use the arrow keys to
postion the cursor over objects, doors, etc. or to select commands. Pressing
the NUM LOCK key will allow the cursor to move in larger increments around the
screen. Pressing it again will discontinue this function. Use the space bar to
"CLICK."

Commands
To select a commmand, simply move the cursor over the command of your choice
and "CLICK." For example, if you wanted to enter the house, move the cursor
to the command GO and then "CLICK." The command will hi-light to show it has
been selected. Then move to the porch or inside the exit box (indicating the
porch) and "CLICK."

Examine [F1] - This command will examine an object more closely.
Go      [F2] - Used to enter through a doorway, exit, etc.
Open    [F3] - Choose this command when an object or door needs to be opened.
Close   [F4] - Use this to close objects, drawers, etc.     
Hit     [F5] - A command useful when violence is the only answer.
Take    [F6] - Certain objects are needed to complete your quest. Use
               this command to put them in your inventory.
Speak   [F7] - To communicate with other characters, objects, etc. use this
	       command. Once selected, type your sentence and press
               <ENTER>.
Operate [F8] - This command will turn certain things on and off. It is also
	       used when you wish to use an object in your inventory. To
	       select an object to operate, simply position the cursor on or
               near any object inside the inventory box and then "CLICK."

Saving and Loading
To save a game for later use, select the SAVE command from the command list.
Once selected, a prompt will appear asking you for the current drive to
save. Press ENTER or RETURN if the default is correct. If not, select the
correct drive letter. If the drive is other than a hard disk, be sure to
insert a blank formatted diskette into the drive specified BEFORE entering
your save name.

Exits
The exit map (located below your inventory) is required to see all possible
exits at a given location. The exit map is a top view floorplan of your
location. All possible exits are indicated as boxes. The commands GO and
OPEN can be used within these boxes. Simply move the cursor INSIDE the box
and "CLICK." The result will be the same as if you "CLICKED" on the actual door
in the view screen.
