      DO YOU NEED INSTRUCTIONS (YES/NO)
      ?YES
      YOU HAD SAVED $900 TO SPEND FOR THE TRIP, AND YOU'VE JUST
         PAID $200 FOR A WAGON.
      YOU WILL NEED TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR MONEY ON THE
         FOLLOWING ITEMS:
       
           OXEN - YOU CAN SPEND $200-$300 ON YOUR TEAM
                  THE MORE YOU SPEND, THE FASTER YOU'LL GO
                     BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE BETTER ANIMALS
       
           FOOD - THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE LESS CHANCE THERE
                     IS OF GETTING SICK
       
           AMMUNITION - $1 BUYS A BELT OF 50 BULLETS
                  YOU WILL NEED BULLETS FOR ATTACKS BY ANIMALS
                     AND BANDITS, AND FOR HUNTING FOOD
       
           CLOTHING - THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE COLD
                     WEATHER YOU WILL ENCOUNTER WHEN CROSSING
                     THE MOUNTAINS
       
           MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES - THIS INCLUDES MEDICINE AND
                     OTHER THINGS YOU WILL NEED FOR SICKNESS
                     AND EMERGENCY REPAIRS
      _PRESS RETURN TO CONTINUE_  ?
       
      YOU CAN SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY BEFORE YOU START YOUR TRIP -
      OR YOU CAN SAVE SOME OF YOUR CASH TO SPEND AT FORTS ALONG
      THE WAY WHEN YOU RUN LOW. HOWEVER, ITEMS COST MORE AT
      THE FORTS. YOU CAN ALSO GO HUNTING ALONG THE WAY TO GET
      MORE FOOD.
      WHENEVER YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR TRUSTY RIFLE ALONG THE WAY,
      YOU WILL BE TOLD TO TYPE IN A WORD (ONE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A
      GUN SHOT). THE FASTER YOU TYPE IN THAT WORD AND HIT THE
      **RETURN** KEY, THE BETTER LUCK YOU'LL HAVE WITH YOUR GUN.
       
      AT EACH TURN, ALL ITEMS ARE SHOWN IN DOLLAR AMOUNTS
      EXCEPT BULLETS
      WHEN ASKED TO ENTER MONEY AMOUNTS, DON'T USE A **$**.
       
      GOOD LUCK!!!
