You UNDERSTOOD the Bank of Zork? I can't remember the exact solution right now,
although I believe it is solvable by trial and error, almost like solving a 
maze... where you have to find a specific pattern or something. 

You refer to it as a state machine... could you please explain what it is and 
how the Bank of Zork is a state machine? Thanks, I have suffered for many many
years without this information. Please e-mail or post.
