SA[il]
This command is used to navigate a ship through the water.
A sailing is based upon world coordinates. Unlike land movement,
ships can sail diagonally. Sail will rotate between two questions,
"Direction?" and "Distance?". Direction is is given in degrees
from 0 to 360 where 90 increases X (right), 180 increases Y (down),
270 decreases X (left) and 0 (or 360) decrease Y (up).
Entering zero (0) for "Distance?" or "//" for "Direction?"
terminates the sail. EXIT, MINE, SWEEP, UNDOCK and VIEW are also
valid from the "Direction?" question.
EXIT terminates the sail. MINE permits you to lay mines from within sail. SWEEP permits you to sweep mines. UNDOCK is used to undock the current ship. VIEW will display ajasent land sectors. SA[il]
