The grating is locked.

You must supply an indirect object.
> use key
I don't understand that.
> walk south
You are in a dimly lit forest, with large trees all around. To the
east, there appears to be sunlight.
> eat the sun
Huh?
> valid input
I don't understand that.
> hello
Nice weather we've been having lately.
> yes, swell
I don't understand that.
> nice weather
I don't understand that.

DG you remind me of myself when I played this for the first time (was it 1984?). I encountered a character in a cave and I remember being so disappointed that I couldn't converse with it. I had this really high expectation of artificial intelligence in this game. Then over time I learned how limited computer A.I. really is.
Daniel270:
Out of the entire series, the only one I EVER finished was Zork 0 (prequel to original Zork)....
as far as figuring out what to do, I'd still be stuck in that white house with the Zork flyer from the mailbox... lol
