Oops. You seem to have misunderstood my intentions. I like Inform, I
have a Curses-sized adventure written in it that's almost done. But I
also think that this programming business is not as easy as it's
sometimes made out to be.

Also, the questions *aren't* bugs (except for #7, which I *have*
reported to Graham). They're just tricky corners of the language (I
think that some of these problems would be difficult to code up in any
language), and they can be solved, apart from #7, without having to hack
the libraries.

I'll post some spoilers to the questions.
