Another problem with Pawn's odd parser... How am I supposed to do anything
in the paper wall room?  I've dutifully tied myself to the hook (which is a
pretty interesting feat, considering that the game only allows an object to
be attached to one other thing -- rope can be tied to a hook or to the
player but not both.  Or at least not very easily :P ) and while it does
prevent me from leaving the room by any normal exits i.e. it seems to function
as a restraint, when I crawl/step/move through the paper wall I fall down a
huge shaft and die.  How do I get this *@#$ game to know that I want to climb
down?  It doesn't recognize down as an exit.  Aiigh!

Again, thanks for any help.  I hope to solve this thing soon, so I can get back
to studying for finals :)
