To start a new game, choose New in the Game menu or click on the New button on the toolbar.

To move, either click in the direction you want to move (the cursor will show you which way you will go) or press the appropriate key on the keyboard (keypad by default). Clicking on the little man will keep you still. To teleport (safely or unsafely), and to wait, use the buttons on the toolbar or use the items in the Move menu.
