SYSTEM 15000

After loading and initialisation the monitor shows the "SYSTEM" screen. 
This is the base from which all communications start and to which you 
will return when you disconnect.

1 = 15000 MENU
X = DISCONNECT
3 = SAVE OR RECALL

Note: In spite of the unusual nature of SYSTEM 15000, saving is 
recommended (although not essential) as this prevents certain repetitions 
and allows the system to keep track of past progress.

Hope you can help. Richard's company COMDATA has been ripped off by 
REALCO to the tune of U.S. $1,500,000 on his American order.

The police have been very helpful but have not been able to get the money 
back. They do know, however, that Realco has been infiltrated by 
organised crime and have told me to be very careful. Up until now I 
thought I had been! But things seem to be hotting up a bit so I'm flying 
out today, which is why I'm asking you to help.

The only way to put things right is to transfer the money back to 
Comdata's bank (MIDMINSTER), by getting into the appropriate computer. I 
am sending you the AVS System 15000 communications software in the hope 
that you will be able to save Richard's company by finishing the work 
that I've started.

The one person who has been helping me is Geoff, who you may remember 
from school. He now works at a scientific research laboratory. You can't 
get in touch with him easily because of security, but he has access to a 
terminal and is trying to help.

I haven't got time for details but start by going to KINGSDOWN 
Polytechnic 672 3427. The special list code is SL312 - Look for L.T. 
Perry & Co.

  Good luck

    In haste......
