Uplink Hints
How do I fix someone's grades?
1 of 6: Read the mission page carefully.
2 of 6: You'll only need to edit one grade. This is determined randomly, so with bad luck the target grade is on the top of six grades.
3 of 6: Since the game's text boxes don't allow for replacing data somewhere in the middle of a text without clearing everything that comes after, you'll have to delete _everything_ after that grade.
4 of 6: When you get to the grade, simply delete the mark and replace it whatever the mission page says you should replace it with.
5 of 6: You might want to consider putting them back, too, though this seems to be only a matter of your personal hacking morale, nothing to do with the missions themselves.
6 of 6: If you're going to replace the grades, remember: one grade per line and six spaces between the subject and the grade. This should do the trick.
