Press the switch top to play a message. You can
advance to the next message in the level if you
interrupt the current message by pressing the switch
top again. For example, to get to the third message,
press the switch top once to start the messages, then
two more times to interupt the message and advance

message before ending the message. This will give
the user a chance to decide if they want to play this
message or another.
