[net.games] Zork II Questions

Okay all you Zork fans, I have three questions invollving Zork II.

1. Is there anyway to get more light other than the lamp? If not
   can you extend the grue repellent more than a few turns?

2. How do you get the painting? I have gotten it randomnly a few times
   but there must be a sure-fire way of getting it.

3. What is the box with the oblong hole in it (in the Dusty Room) used
   for?

Please respond quickly...

Is this the one with a cold pond?  If so, try diving.
The grue repellant runs out and nothing can be done about it.

Is this the portrait of the chairman?  If so, it's a treasure
and you need to figure out how to get treasures out of the bank.

Good place to put a stick of dynamite.
