  No, I'm refering to what happens when you try to walk out of the bank
with the treasure in your possession--you get thrown into a room with no
exits; you can either wait around until a Goblin comes along and offers to
lead you out (in exchange for the treasure, of course), or you can find
your own way out...
  This is the Apple ][ version of Zork III I'm talking about here.  Is
there another solution to the Bank of Zork, or are there different versions
of the puzzle?  I'm not talking about the Royal Puzzle, that much I'm sure
about!
  Hmmm.  Curious.
