have a Mac, I have no idea how to do that with them.  So, sorry.

    Due to the very large amount of requests for Battle Commands, I have
decided to add them to this.  I don't have Steiner and Garnet with my
party right now, so I will add what I remember for them right now, and will
add them fully when I get them again.

                         Battle Commands


W^-Jitan (Zidane)

-Tatakau (Fight)  Attack an enemy or companion with equipped weapon.
ʂ-Nusumu (Steal) Attempt to take an item from an enemy.
Z-Higi (Secret Technique) Use Zidane's Action Abilities.
ACe-Aitemu (Item) Use an item.

    When you choose to ʂ-Nusumu (Steal) in a battle, there are three
possible outcomes, 1-Steal an item, 2-Can't steal (failed attempt), and
3-Nothing to Steal! Here is an example of each so you can know what is going
on when you choose steal in a battle.  For this example, the enemy is a
fB[oO-Rediibagu (Ladybug), a flying blue insect around NGi-Kuena
(Quena)'s marsh.


ږʂ񂾁I-Megusuri wo nusunda! (Eyedrop was stolen!) The item you
                 have stolen will always be the very first thing.  Just take
                 off the ʂ񂾁I part and that is the item you stole.
nC|[Vʂ񂾁I-Haipooshon wo nusunda! (High Potion was stolen!)
                           As you can see from both of these examples, the
                           'was stolen!' phrase is always the same when you
                           successfully steal.
ʂ߂ȂI-Nusumenakatta! (Couldn't Steal!) This means you failed at
                 stealing an item on that attempt, but the enemy IS still
                 carrying an item.  Try again.
egʂ񂾁I-Tento wo nusunda! (Tent was stolen!)
tFjbNX̉Hʂ񂾁I-Fenikusu no Hane wo nusunda! (Phoenix Feather     
                               was stolen!)
ĂȂI-Nanimoterutteinai! (Has nothing!) The enemy has nothing
                   more to steal.

Zidane's Trances-when Zid's Trance Meter fills up, his Z-Higi (Secret
Technique) command changes to Z-Sengi (Specialty Technique).  For each
command that you could use in the Higi box, you can use one of his specialty
techniques.  Here are the ones I have found at this time so far:

t[GiW[-Furiienajii (Free Energy-10 MP)
^C_tC-Taidarufureimu (Tidal Flame-12 MP)
XN[vAEg-Sukuupuauto (Scope Out-14 MP) A big red bolt of energy
               slams into an enemy.
VtguCN-Shifutobureiku (Shift Break-16 MP)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

rr-Vivi

-Tatakau (Fight)
@-Kuromahou (Black Magic) Cast a Black Magic spell.
߂-Tameru (Store) Charge up to do more damage with his next spell.
ACe-Aitemu (Item)

X^Ci[-Sutainaa (Steiner)

-Tatakau (Fight)
Z-Kengi (Sword Technique) Use Steiner's Action Abilities.
@-Mahouken (Magic Sword) Vivi must be in the party to use this.
       Vivi will cast a spell on Steiner's sword, giving him an elemental
       attack.  This does NOT take up Vivi's turn.
ACe-Aitemu (Item)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

K[lg-Gaaruneto (Garnet)

-Tatakau (Fight)
-Shoukan (Summon) Summon a monster for an attack.
@-Shiromahou (White Magic) Cast a White Magic Spell.
ACe-Aitemu (Item)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

tC-Furaiya (Freiya)

-Tatakau (Fight)
Wv-Janpu (Jump) Jump off the screen and land on them for high in the
         air to do more damage than a regular attack.
Z-Ryuugi (Dragon Technique) Use Freiya's Action Abilities.
ACe-Aitemu (Item)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NCi-Kuina (Quina)

-Tatakau
ׂ-Taberu (Eat) Eat a weakened monster to learn a Blue Magic spell.
@-Aomahou (Blue Magic) Use Quina's Blue Magic he has learned from eating
       an enemy.
ACe-Aitemu (Item)
