    These chapters under the Help menu contain everything you need to know about the game.  The Hints menu gives you extra tips and tactics.  If you like solving puzzles and developing your own strategies, don't read the Hints.  This section on "Getting Started" is a quick overview, so you can start playing right away.
    Click the arrow buttons at the upper-left to move through the maze.  The solid arrows move your feet, changing your location or the direction you're facing; the hollow arrows just temporarily turn your head, so you can "peek" to the side or behind.  You'll find tools and things on the floor; to collect them, stand over them (so they're under your feet where you can't see them) and click the Pick Up button.  The things you've collected appear in the Inventory window; click on one and use the Inventory menu to do something with it.
    The entrance door to each maze has no keyhole and can't be opened from the inside.  The exit door has a keyhole, and will open when you find and use the key.  It leads to another lower, larger maze.  There's no limit to how deep you can go if you can stay alive.
    To win, collect the Three Sacred Relics of RA, which are hidden somewhere in the mazes.  If you open an exit door while carrying all three Relics, you'll be given the choice of quitting as a winner, or continuing to play in order to gain a higher score.
