OK.  I got wanderer going.  I had to do it on a Sun as our
Ultrix 1.2 machine puked at nocbreak() and cbreak().  Must be
some function Sun's got that Ultrix hasn't.

I've done the first four levels no problem (well a little at 3 maybe).
The screen isn't always tidied up (leaves Jumping to next screen message
on and that gets part eaten by full map displays) but I can cope
with that (I may even have a crack at fixing it).  What I can't cope
with is the blatent cheating on level 5.  I practise away until
I can do it easily by skipping to the screen and practising, and
then off I go back to the beginning to get the really MEGA score.
But when I start clearing off the $'s on the top right of the board
all of a sudden from off the playing area a boulder appears and knocks
me on the head.  I can't get the $ without getting killed it's impossible.
OK so who's the joker who put that little feature in, I'm off
to sulk until someone tells me how to get around it.
