It took me about two weeks to become absolutely certain that she had, once again, been smarter than I. She gave the damned thing away. I, not so wise, accepted it. (I learn from my mistakes, though; when *I* gave it away it went to someone across the country --- and he got a return address that doesn't resolve, so he CAN'T send it back.) My best read on the thing was that it was designed by a guy who wrote questing games on the side - there is only one acceptable way to do any task, and there will be no logical relationship between the task and the way you MUST go about it. I kept wanting to just get to a prompt and type "xyzzy" to see what happened.... but there wasn't any way to get to a prompt. No más. NUNCA. -- R.
