Hello.  WHat I am wondering is this.
Let's say I construct an RPG in inform.  Now, Vlarkh the damned, your 
basic halftroll whatever has
2 swords, a lamp, some bread, gold, the usual.
Now, suddenly I make another adventure.  ANd you want to use your 
halftroll, because sure he's stupid, but he has experience and weapons 
and all.  Is there a way to write out just the character data and the 
objects in the inventory so they can be read into a new game, without 
saving the character's location in the old game of course, or is this 
just more trouble than it's worth and I should program it in C rather 
than inform?
