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!
