NetStorm User Interface

Left Click on a unit to select it.
Right Click on a window or unit to get a menu of commands.
Hold down ALT to scroll the screen towards the cursor. To scroll in full screen mode (or in Window mode if your desktop is set to 640 x 480 resolution) simply move the cursor to the edge of the screen. (Note: with MicroSoft's IntellimouseTM, holding the center "Wheel" button is equivalent to holding the ALT key.)
Escape brings up an options menu at the top of the screen.

F2 Hide buildings so you can see behind them.
F3 Hide and show the Chat Window.

Q W
A S Use these keys to grab bridge pieces directly into your cursor.
(Z X) (Z & X are only relevant for games with 6 available bridge pieces.)

Another feature: If you hold the Shift key and type a number 0 through 9, NetStorm will remember the screen location. To hop directly back to that screen location, simply press the number key.

Note: many of the hot-keys above require you to have the Chat Window hidden.

For reference, here are the symbols used in the game to represent Energy:
- Wind
- Rain
- Thunder
- Sun

To learn what any window or unit does just right-click it and select "About" from the menu. If you are still learning how to play the help may seem confusing, so please watch the demo and play the Early Missions.
