I don't think I would have found the armory if it weren't for autolook. You
wouldn't need a "look" command if you simply enable by default the part of
autolook that always shows all possible exits when entering a room. By the
way, I like that you included a list of all commands in HELP and a list of
all destinations when saying HELP to the talking elevator.

The one place I think a little extra signage might have been called for was
the final puzzle. It never makes it clear what the goal is until you win.
It would be nice if there was a clue at the halfway point that suggests the
other half so people aren't surprised, like I was, when randomly
frobbing all the buttons causes them to win.
