Hi Al,
Smile. You are not being a bother. In fact, I found your problems to
be educational and instructive on how inexperienced people can be when
it comes to older software and unfamiliar interfaces. Its easy for
someone like me to assume I can slap together a text based interface

Hi Al,
Ah, yes. That will do it alright. You need to keep in mind these are
text based games from the 90's designed for Dos not Windows. That's
