To play keow, you simply press the left and right keys to move, and the up key to jump.  When you press the keys, DONT HOLD THEM DOWN!!!, tap them.  Otherwise, keow will be nearly impossible to  control.

To quit, press the ESC key.

To load a Keow level/levelset, press C when you first start up the game.  If you are loading a plain levelset (a file for each level) then just enter the name of the levelset.  If you want to open a compiled levelset (one file with several levels in it) then make sure you include the extension (.keo) at the end.

To create keow levels, open QBasic and open the keowlevm.bas file included in the keow archive.  There is a small documentation at the top of that file.  Note - MAKE SURE THAT YOU DONT MAKE TWO PLATFORMS/WALLS/GROUNDS THAT ARE ON THE SAME Y COORDINATE!!!  There is a bug in the game that i'm working on fixing that will cause keow to simply fall through two platforms that start at the same height.  Press 'c' to view the mouse coordinates.  This is an easy way to check the height.  And make sure that you manually change the level number, because the program doesnt do it automatically.  To make a levelset, you have to progress the level number for each level you make, and the first level must be level number 0.

To compile keow levelsets (put all of the levels in a keow levelset into one file), open the keowcomp.exe file included in the keow archive, and choose the compile option.  If you want to edit the levels in this file later, choose decompile and the level will be seperated into individual files again.  You can also merge levelsets together.
