===Moving Items===
During the game you will find or buy items such as swords and shields. To move these items around the world, use the <b>left click and drag</b> to the place you want them to be. You need to be next to the item. To drop a smaller amount of a stackable item use the /drop command. Say you have 2000 money and want to give 100 money away: <code>/drop 100 money</code>. You can drop only one item from a stack if you hold down <b>Ctrl</b> while you drag and drop it.
During the game you will find or buy items such as swords and shields. To move these items around the world, use the <b>left click and drag</b> to the place you want them to be. You need to be next to the item if you are moving it from the ground.

If a stackable item (one which you can have more than one of in the same slot) is in your bag and you want to drop a smaller amount than the total, hold down <b>Ctrl</b> while you drag and drop it. Then you can type in the number to drop.

You can also use the /drop command. Say you have 2000 money and want to give 100 money away: <code>/drop 100 money</code>.

Use <b>Shift+UP arrow</b> or <b>Shift+DOWN arrow</b> (hold ''Shift'' and press arrows) to put in your dialog text bar the last written sentence. Each time you press the ''up'' arrow (while still holding the ''shift'' key) you go further back in the history of your previously written sentences. When you use the ''down arrow'' instead you can go forward. That way you don't have to write again previously used sentences, for example, when you sell items.

Right click in the dialog area to select one of two actions. Clear will erase all of the text in the dialog area, but not the remembered lines that you typed so that Shift-Up can still recall them. Save will save all of the current contents to a file called gamechat.log in the user directory (the filename is shown in the
dialog area). Repeating the Save will replace the file. This might be useful for saving a list of items for sale from Harold or a list of Fisherman tales from Ceryl


If the chat dialog goes pink, it means you scrolled back and now you have unread messages. Just scroll down to the bottom again.
