Yes, I know Zork is a relatively "old" game, but I've
never had the opportunity to play it before and I don't
know much about it yet.  The Zork in question is Zork I
for the IBM-PC(our VAX administrator won't open /usr/games)
and is from Infocom and was written by the same folks
(supposedly) that wrote the original mainframe version.

I'm at a fairly amateur level of the game but I'm
already stuck.  My question is this, What do you need
to get up the chimmney in the Studio, and how do you
get out of, or get past the Torch Room/Temple/Egyptian Tomb
level?  My frustration level is reaching critical mass
and I would really appreciate some hints(without giving
away the farm) instead of outright answers.  Thanks in Advance,

                               Stuck in the GUE :-),
