Heh, that makes me recall the long and at the end almost metaphyscial discussion I had with Peter Garrone last year about the meaning of the number "99" :-). >Although I suppose the real problem here is that the online help >doesn't know about the user interface, so it can't just say "to travel >along a river, click ....".

Even more important, however, is to fix the "map the unknown by clicking in it" exploit, which sneaked back in when we removed Peter's pathfinding. Hans
