As for the instructions on how to use the spell, I can do no better than to quote Kiwi's reply to the same question.

    "The Redneck's Tavern has had a rule about that subject (flying) since I chose to enforce it here when I was a very active regular in the place. It helped to weed out the software pirates. We would tell you the page number in the manual, that's it. These days, with the manual now on a legal CD, we just have to tell you the line number in a Notepad view of the manual, I suppose.

    The reason for individual game players to discourage piracy is to improve our chances of seeing more games produced. A lot of years ago, Atari produced one of the finest 8-Bit home PC's you could buy, and for a time, it rivalled the Commodore 64 for its gaming releases. But between the "Happy Drive" and the wide distribution of hacks to break Atari systems' copy-protection options, the game publishers couldn't seem to sell more than a few of any new game, before pirates began giving the games away to their friends.

    Very soon, there were no more new games for Atari PC's. Period. Nothing to steal, nothing new to play. It was my feeling that if the publishers couldn't make money on the games I liked, I was likely not to get anything new to play myself. And so I do not tell you what key to use to fly.

    Look it up in the manual on the CD."

    FYI "Redneck's Tavern" is the MM6 Tavern.
