-<font face="Lucida Grande,Helvetica,Arial">An example of how to use
-this may make things a bit clearer. We'll
-use the 128K version of Gryzor. Load the game, define keys to suit
-and start playing. Immediately pause the game and bring up the poke
-finder dialog. We note that we currently have 6 lives, so enter `6'
-into the `Search for' field and click `Search'. This reduces the
-number of possible locations to around 931 (you may get a slightly
-different number depending on exactly when you paused the game).
-Play along a bit and then (deliberately) lose a life. Pause the
-game again. As we now have 5 lives, replace the `6' in the 'Search
-for' field with a `5' and click `Search' again. This then reduces
-the list of possible locations to just one: page 2, offset 0x00BC.
-This is the only location in memory which stored `6' when we had 6
-lives and `5' when we had 5 lives, so its pretty likely that this
-is where the lives count is stored. Double-clicking on the
-`2:0x00BC' entry in the dialog will set the appropriate breakpoint
-(you may wish to open the debugger at this point to confirm this).
-Play along a bit more. When you next lose a life, emulation is
-stopped with PC at 0x91CD. Scrolling up a few addresses in the
-debugger's disassembly pane shows a value was loaded from 0x80BC
-(our hypothetical lives counter), decremented and then stored again
-to 0x80BC, which looks very much like the code to reduce the number
-of lives. We can now use the debugger to replace the decrement with
-a NOP (`set 0x91C90'), and playing the game some more after this
-reveals that this has worked and we now have infinite
-lives.</font></p>
