	I've been thinking about this for a while, and as far as I can
tell, this should work in all situations, except if a person tries to go
north, south, and east or west at the same time, which shouldn't happen
unless a player is really discombobulated:

  Player 1: MoveNorth =3D 2, MoveSouth =3D W, MoveEast =3D E, MoveWest =3D=
 Q
            Jump =3D 5, Fire =3D G
  Player 2: MoveNorth =3D 0, MoveSouth =3D P, MoveEast =3D [, MoveWest =3D=
 O
            Jump =3D 8, Fire =3D M

	Every once in a while, my fingers get a super power, and I'm
able to hit <north or south>, <west or east>, Jump, and Fire for both
players and it works!  :-D

	Thanks for pointing that out!
