How to play
-----------

You are the clever porter Box Man whose job is to move all of the objects to
the marked floor positions allowing you to escape to the next level. You can
only push but not pull the objects around the maze and can not push more
than one at a time. You can do this by using arrow keys on your keyboard.
The operation sounds very simple, right? Play it right now!

 * Shortcut keys usage: Almost every menu has its own shortcut key, for
   example, if you want to play the current original level from the
   beginning, just press CTRL+N. See the menu.

 * Undo usage: Sometimes you move an object to a wrong position by mistake,
   don't worry, just press CTRL+U to undo it. Only the last step you can
   undo.

 * Load solutions: Too difficult to think out the solutions? No problems,
   just load the solutions and follow up them! The solutions will be saved
   automatically each time you completed each original or self-edited level,
   then you can load them and see the solutions just by clicking the "TRACE"
   button! You can send the solutions for each original or self-edited level
   to us and we will publish them on our web site! Also you can download the
   solutions from our web site. Visit our web site for more details.  

 * Level editor: Easily edit your own levels just by clicking! First click
   an object on the edit-bar, then click the main window. After editing you
   can test it by clicking the "TEST" button, continue to edit by clicking
   the "EDIT" button, end editing by clicking the "EXIT" button. If you
   re-edit and re-save the level after the test is completed, you will need
   to re-test this level to save the corresponded solutions. Please feel
   free to email us your levels and their solutions, we'll adopt and publish
   them on our web site for other people to download! See our web site for
   more details.
