 This caused me a problem also. The solution is easy though....

1. Go and face the lever and operate it. The teleport will switch off.
2. Turn round 180 degs. Go one pace (only !) forwards.
3. Put (say) a club on the ground
4. Turn around and operate the lever, the gate will open.
5. Fetch the key.
6. walk into the teleport
7. recover item left on ground (club)
8. push green button
9  walk out of room shutting door behind you (always a good idea)


   Hey Presto !

   I'm quite pleased to have answered a DM1 query for once instead of
 asking questions all the time !


  You wait 'til you get to level 8. AS a tip get your preist levels up
  for level 8 as your gonna need them. Just do a few spells with no
  things around to bother you before you descend to the first really 
  tricky level. And to think I got stuck in level 3 ! DM has to be one
  of the best games around.
