Hi,

Doctor's easy. In the Terminal, type emacs and then "return". Then hit "Escape", then the "x" key. Then type in doctor and the doctor is in. There's also a Tetris game there, just type tetris instead of doctor.

Also, because it's not especially obvious, the way to get out of the games is to hit use the control-"x" key combination followed immediately by control-"c". Try this in the Terminal to see what other games are available:

ls /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play
