I can't get past the riddle room.  I know the answer to the riddle,
having solved it in the MDL version.  That version has instructions
telling you to type
	answer "a foo"
(substitute the correct answer for "foo") to answer the riddle.
But the fortran version ("zork" as opposed to "dungeon") has no
instructions and all the variations I tried didn't work.  What
is the proper syntax to get past it?
