Thanks, do I have to kill all the zombies in all the rooms?  I thought
getting into the next room was sufficient? I set 'pickup 1', so their
bodies don't litter the place.  The thing is, I am at the entrance to all
these rooms.  There are three grates in a row.  And the middle one is
closed.  I asked a friend to sit on the first grate, but now maybe I need
two guys to sit on the grates (will sitting on the grate keep it open?).
Anyway, I just let my food go to zero and died :-(.

I am my own game admin :-).  I am on a network where I can neither reach
out, nor can someone reach in.  Anyway, how do I summon a player out of the
dungeon?  Or patch a game file?

I have some questions, but I'm not sure if it is considered polite to ask
them here - just started to "listen" to this list.  If so, where can I ask
for help?

PS: Is it a convention to Cc: the author?  Since I am also subscribed to the
    list, please don't Cc a copy to me.  Thanks!
