How do you equip yourself with sword or gun?

[michaelws]

I am new to this game. I found the key on the table in the first scenario...but I don't know how to arm myself. I perused the manual but didn't see any instructions on how to select what I find much less how to get the sword into my hand.

What page in the manual am I missing (not seeing). I really just want to do the sea battles...like in the first Age of Sail games from Akella.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
