CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have completed ENVIRONOID!

*note1:- Do not go north from "in a hole" or a skeleton will follow the player 
throughout the game, eventually stealing the treasure. The game can’t be won 
from that point.

*note2:- Going east from "in a large chamber" results in the player getting 
eaten by a "big fat spider".

*note3:- Rubbing the lamp kills the player.


Bugs:-

If the torch is dropped while it is "getting dim", the "getting dim" message 
persists on every turn for the remainder of the game even when the player is no 
longer in the same location as the torch. The workaround is to wait until the 
"torch is dead" message before dropping it. The player should be in possession 
of the glowing rock by that point anyway. 

If the player drops items in the boat and then types "start boat" to move it 
then the items disappear until the player moves the boat back again. Same thing 
happens if the map is not picked up before the boat is moved. The boat is 
implemented as two separate locations, but there is no code to move the items 
along with the boat.
