Try taking off the num lock and using those arrow keys again.  I recently 
got the demo as well.  The arrow keys move you around, and the mouse aims 
your gun.  As you move through the very first level a bunch of how-to 
hints pop up telling you how to activate switches and other neat featurs 
in the game.  

So far, Abuse seems to be a really cool game.  It's only 2D, but it is a 
nice change from all the DOOM clones.  Wait until you pick up the rocket 
launcher 8>)  oooohhhhh  fun.
