→Moving Terry
====Moving Terry====
Terry never moves diagonally. Terry always moves forward in the direction his head is facing. He can move up, down, left and right, square by square, on the screen. Your child can command Terry to move forward, tum left and right, climb over logs and rocks, dig under logs and rocks, eat shrubs, and swim through the brook. Terry responds if given one command at a time or if commands are strung together, giving him many commands at one time (see ''Stringing Commands Together'').
====Giving Terry Commands====
Your child controls Terry's movements by giving him commands or programming him. He or she can program Terry in two ways: by speaking into the headset microphone or by pressing keys on the keypad console.

====Number Commands====
A number command tells Terry to move forward the number of squares that your child presses. If there is a rock, log, shrub, or a brook blocking Terry's way, he cannot move past it. Your child can press the HINT key on the MBX console to find out how to move past these obstacles.
