Subject: Re: newbie question(s)


Thanks for the tips. I finally re-read the manual seems i had
skipped the part about learning spells thinking "i am not a
spellcaster" whoops! I learned Battle cry just now as per some stuff
i read at another site, and i bought the locating lyric for level 4.
I will check that F10 thing hopefully finally get the game in full
screen... Hoopy!
