Thank you for both replies. I will be playing Wiz 6 sooner or later so I will keep that in mind. It is actually kind of annoying to move my hand from the arrow keys to the K key just to pass through a door. (My other hand is on my mouse in a mapping program I use when playing these old games.) I wish they didn't make this change. In all fairness though, the new (k)ick command is in the manual. I did start reading it before playing the game but it was repeating, almost word for word, the information I read in the Wiz 1 manual earlier in 2015. So I said screw it and just started playing the game. My mistake obviously. RTFM!
