 R is the run key. This allows you're merc to move twice as many squares per turn.

 If there is such a button I've never heard of it. The only way I know to save APs is to simply not use them. In a very uncertain battlefield situation I normally advance my people 10 to 12 APs a turn so they have enough left to fire if they get an interrupt. I also rarely move using all a mercs APs because when you do this you are penalised 5 APs on the next turn for being winded. Do this too many times and you're merc keels over from exhaustion.

 thx for your input khor! i didn't know that the merc's get winded if all APs are used up!
so if i leave 1 AP this turn, i can avoid being penalized 5 APs the next turn?

 You actually need to leave four to six APs depending on the specific mercs energy level and how much running (or using all of his APs in any way) he's done during each turn based encounter. To be safe, I try to leave 6 whenever possible.

 the "reserve AP button" was a feature of JA1. In JA2 it's generally better to leave lots of AP's for interrupts. I've found that some of my mercs can "interrupt" with as few as 4 remaining AP - not enough to make a shot, but sufficient to dive for cover.
