I'm posting the following for a friend who doesn't have net access.
Please e-mail your reply to the address listed in my .signature.

	In Time Bandit, there is a section called the "Old Ghost
	Town."  I am playing on level 4D, and I can break the
	gate any time I want to... but before I do, I want to get
	across the tar pit in the bandits' hideout.  I have all
	nine letters, and I have double-checked them by going to
	each bandit in turn, but I've had no luck getting the
	correct combination of letters H!  I have tried the
	letters in the order I found them, the reverse of the
	order I found them, alphabetical order, reverse
	alphabetical order, vowels first, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

	I figure there are over 300,000 possible orderings of
	nine letters taken nine at a time, and I have no wish to
	try a brute force attack.  Can anyone tell me how to
	which order of letters to use?
