Abuse: what is it supposed to do?

I downloaded the Abuse33 demo and unzipped it on my harddrive.  After running
the setup program I started it up and got a cool picture of some guy standing
in the middle of my screen. The only thing he seems to do though is turn
around and shoot in the direction of my mouse movement.  That's it.  No
keyboard control at all.  It doesn't crash, but the only control I have
is with the mouse to turn him or shoot (no other movement).  Is this it??

My computer is a Gateway dx2-66 with SB-16 and ATI Mach32 video card.

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.

RTFM, Paul, RTFM: Read The F......ine Manual. :)

You use the mouse and cursor keys. The cursor keys control running,
climbing, and jumping. The mouse controls aiming, firing, switch
pressing, and weapon selection.

Enjoy,
