Command HQ Keyboard Shortcuts
My apologies for the formatting, I was in a bit of a rush. I will try to go back and clean it up later on if possible. I have been playing this game since it was released. Command H.Q. was way ahead of its time.

And since someone will ask eventually... Sic Transit Gloria Mundi .. "Thus passes the glory of the world"

Thank you! This info is not in the game manual you can download from Steam. It was originally on the "Control Summary Card".

The most important one to remember is the TAB key to resize the zoom window (make it much bigger)!
