	"BTW: The "Official" way to get the treasure south of the lake
	involves solving the puzzle of the viewing table. There is
	another way (called cheating) that you can get the treasure
	without ever going into the viewing room."

Here's another way: put the lamp into the chest, close the chest, then
take the chest with you when swimming across the lake.  Once you
arrive, retrieve the lamp and use it to light the dark passages.

I reported this as a bug two years ago, since it allows you to win with
only 6 of 7 points.  It may be fixed in recent versions.  There was
another bug involving acquisition of the cloak, so when I first "won"
Zork III I had only 5 of 7 points.  I was miffed.
