Finally don't email me questions about anything that isn't
related to the Keyboard Commands in UW, chances are I can't
help you!

ALT-F7 - Version of the game
ALT-F8 - Tells you your location (first number is Level, then 2 digits for X,
and 2 for Y, so a 16524 is on level one, x 65, y 24)
This document was created simply because I was unable to find any online
keyboard reference of any kind, and so decided to create my own by trying every
key on the keyboard in the game. As far as I know, no other such reference
exists. Also I believe this to be all the keyboard commands in the game, but I
could be wrong. If you know of any more keyboard commands than are listed here,
please email me at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Finally, why wasn't UW released in the Ultima: Collection?
