I can't get out of those first few rooms. I am at my wit's end as cannot proceed an inch until I figure out how to get the heck out of there and on to the rest of the site. Please give me at least a good shove or some idea how to proceed or I'm going to be here until 'crack of doom!" Thanks for any help (YES, even a spoiler would not be unwelcome). Banan

The thing that makes these games so tough for me is that I have 2 major handicaps. !) Not much of a sense of direction. 2) Even more important--I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO MAKE A MAP. If you know a good mapmaker who would like to give me lessons and instructions in how to 'make a map', PLEASE, lead me to him/her. I'm am also a 'computer iliterate and am playing this on a webtv unit. Generating some sort of chart or such is not on the agenda or I just don't have the necessary skill for such an undertaking. I've tried drawing what I see and relating that way. Unfortunately, when walls shift and aren't where they were when I drew them, it sort of messes up my map making attempt BIG TIME. When I say I need help, it's only after I've tried my best. I wonder if I should just not bother with these? Thanks. Banan.
