Lucky you!  I'm still having trouble at level 2 (See below.)

A good way to cheat would be to go into the screens directory, copy screen5
to a temporary file, and go into screen5 and edit it until all you see are
the "*"s  (money). Then it will be easy to get to the next screen. Once you
get the password (btw: it's "trick" on my system), you can copy the temporary
file back into screen5. Now just give your password whenever you get into
trouble.  You are probably an honest person, though, unlike myself. :-)


If you cat out screen 11, you will see that this screen hasn't been
written yet.

I like that saying on screen 8 -- no escape! ha ha!   And it looks like
there is something on screen 7, too -- something like   "yo mortal"!
There is an exit (X) on screen 8 - can you really not get to it?
Do I get "extra credit" for discovering these things???

How can I get the two diamonds on the left hand side of screen two?  They 
are underneath too many boulders, and I keep getting "squished"! 

Apologisies for those who were looking for "real" bugs, but I guess unwritten
and impossible screens count as bugs!
