The Arrival (e)

Walkthrough for "The Arrival"
Mark James Harris 

This walkthrough assumes you've read the instructions and are familiar 
with the user interface.  The data disks that are found along the way 
have yellow tabs on the right side.  When I refer to data disk 6, it 
means the one with 6 yellow tabs on the right side.  I have not included 
solutions to puzzles because the help in the game is so good.  Hope this 
helps!
