You would pick up your phone, dial a number and place the handset on a base station that also connected to your computer (then an Atari, can't remember which model) . The famous words would come up on your 12 or 14 inch monitor:
West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
Those were the days...pencils and A3 paper at the ready you would start creating the map while you followed the screen's instructions...
