Moving the cursor.
If the cursor is within one of the circles in a galaxy, you can either
move along the circle's radius, or along its perimeter. As a rule, the
numerical keypad is used as a direction indicator. For example the '8' points
north, the '6' east and the '1' south-west. The '.' will move you clockwise,
while the ',' counter-clockwise. The '5' key, which is in the middle, will
flip over the page (if the terminal has this capability) so that the informa-
tion on the other side can be reexamined. To visualize things better, here
is the representation of the keypad, as used by the program. If the terminal
lacks keypad - use imagination.

If the cursor is on one of the stars between the two galaxies, you can
move to all directions but usually not diagonally. (The allowed routes in
this area are marked on the map below). If a key other then numeric is
pressed, this is interpreted as a character belonging to a command. Thereupon
the cursor will move down to the line marked 'Command: '. If at any time you
wish to return to the Map section, press the 'esc' key. To return back you
can either press the 'esc' key again, or simply continue the command. (The
latter case holds only if the character typed is NOT numeric.)
