I figured out the problem I was having with TADS before...bad media.
 
I have encountered a new problem.  How do I use doors?  I have tried
just sticking the item in a line like        
 
northwest = door
 
in the room with the door in it, but it tells me "You can't go that way"
no matter what the status of the door is (open, closed, etc).  
Both doordest and otherside are set in the door (a lockableObject).  Any 
idea what I am doing wrong?  (And yes I am using a good disk now. :)
