lr-mess-archimedes question for the game Blowpipe...

Blowpipe play question for anyone who can help:

I'm playing it in an emulation. When i get to the first shop (buy/sell) screen, everything is frozen or else I don't know what to press, etc. Mouse is not active on screen, no key i press does anything nor joystick remap buttons.

Is there a certain perhaps british only keyboard archimedes key that activates it? How do i do anything on that screen. it's got all the little windows closed on it. A card is inserted and it says i have 1350 credits or so to spend and then it's just frozen there. What must i do to do something there or leave the screen? Also, if anyone has a manual rules scan of the game?

Really not sure if I can help but I will give it a shot.

I tried this nice game on the aa5000 and it does work however I find it very difficult to play.
I did not get to the first shop yet.
Will try it again later.

ps.
You might want to use game-focus to enable certain keyboard keys although not sure it will help.

and...

Did you read the 'readme' on disk 1 ?
Do you run the game with more than 1mb memory or less and on what system ?
