Most of my posts in this base have been too strongly-worded. I blame
myself, but also the Inform manual! Puts me in a bad mood. As a manual,
it's 'designed' to be a last resort.  I HAVE TO LEARN MOST THINGS 
STUDYING THE EXAMPLES AND ABSORBING THEIR PSYCHIC ENERGY.
If I don't understand something in the examples I bite my lower lip and
try the manual. The manual then slaps me around pretty good, steps on me
and kicks me in the ribs; my head spinning, I post a message. Sad, really.
;)

Anyhow, I'm committed (or should be committed to an asylum) to writing a 
game, though I'm going slowly. Because ... because .... the manual. It's 
written in Greek.
