Oh, gross.  I bet you're right.  *tests*  Yes, that's it.

Yes, of course.  But I'd assumed it put that in the URL; that's where I
put it when I did a Web interface to a stateful game (blockade).

Now, well, it has the problem that it scrolls back to the beginning of
the transcript after each command, which is a minor problem.  But since
I'm not likely to want to play zork seriously over the web anyway,
that's no big deal; it's still Pretty Cool.  It even accepts the
INCANTation which I find I still have memorized from my VMS
zork-playing days.  Ah, the things I spend gray cells on.... :-)
