Not sure which display you meant to input that into, so here's two alternatives.
Specify that in the future, please.

Okay, this isn't really a proper email or anything, so ignore the fact this is
just a plaintext file...

Anyway, I hope the insides of this tank are comfy enough for you. I know it's
probably a bit on the cramped side and you probably wish you had a proper
display rather than just these two text consoles, but sadly we didn't have a
whole ton of proper hardware, and couldn't really get the drivers either. So
you'll have to do with this for now.

I took out tankshtutor because honestly it's kinda outdated and bloated, but the
gist of it is that you use this vaguely Unix-like interface to control the
vehicle, running executables with all sorts of flags and arguments, fiddling
with config files, that sort of thing. Most of the relevant programs are in
/bin/tank and you can either run them with the --help (or some variant thereof)
to get the list of options, or dig into the config files (if the thing in
question has one) in /conf/. For what it's worth your most valuable commands
right now are move, scan, map and fire, though I'm sure you will find more
interesting things in /bin/tank.

Your first goal is to take out the enemy base that's down south (I think). Feel
free to scavenge any useful hardware and software you may find there that you
think might be useful to you, just make sure you are still in one piece when
you are about to return to base. (Hint: check out the tp command.)

That's all from me for now. I hope you have fun with this new experimental war
tank. ;)
