Right.	The exchange option was removed because it ruined the design
goal of "one adventure, one party."

yes, rather annoying...

I'm stuck at about the point where your just about out of keys, and
there are still puzzles left... some specific wants:

*  What do I do about the bell tower?  It seems I can't swing across that
   rope more than once.  Is levitate the answer??

*  What about the gate that is opened with the gold key and has the snakes
   in it's lower half.

*  What's the pirate's den password??????  (UGH!)  Alternativly, where
   did Captain Matey bury his treasure?  This is driving me nuts!

That should about do it.. There are other sticking points (likes holes in
walls, door that are wizard locked, gates with no keys, etc.) that are
annoying, but I DO want to solve some of this myself!!
