Had to go to the manual for that one. And since I am still on level 1, (not even near the end, I don't think) I believe there are more little tricks like that spread throughout the entire game. Yet another example: those items you pick up which seem utterly useless like beverages, worker hats, etc do not appear to have a function in the game. Unless you read the manual you have no idea what is going on - well, with the little things anyway (and didn't some one once say that "the little things in life count"? ;-) ). So my original post stands. - Falcon
