I wanted to evaluate Frobnitz, but not at the expense of Frotz. It
would be nice to be able to try the same operation in both machines,
but I can't. Anybody ever get Frobnitz to "play nicely" on the same
Palm as Frotz? I tried about 20 times, but never got BORROW or STEAL to
work at all. What did I miss?
