****************
* Introduction *
****************
Small script I wrote to tie into Scene_Tittle if you want to help the player learn the
controls insted of putting them in a .txt document next to the game. Of course
you could always use means of teaching durnig actual game play, but im too lazy
to do that for all the fetures my game has.
call by useing
" $scene = Scene_Gamehelp.new " <--- NO Qoutes
