thanks

but do I type "xyzzy" in the chatbox? and then shift enter?

or do I just type it when the cursor is above the mine field?

it says start minesweeper and then type "xyzzy", but does that mean

1) type it just after you sent the request

2) type it when it's loading

3) type it when it minesweeper instructions are on screen

4) type it when the blue field has loaded

does the cheat work when I start the game, or also when my "buddy" starts it?

thanks a lot in advance dudes

Minimize everything, open Minesweeper, THEN type it in the Minesweeper screen.

I don't know... I don't think Minesweeper is hard enough to warrant using cheats. Its like that Freecell cheat lol.
