	Gamepad would NOT really suck.  The Gravis Gamepad is the ultimate
controller for games lie Wolf and Doom......... better than any joystick,
mouse, trackball, keyboard, or whatever...........

	Key assignments for the Gravis go best like this:

				open/use



		      fire		      strafe


			
				   run
