How do you get by the damn cat?  I just got it last night, and I think there's
something to do with the plant on screen 14, but I can't tell.

Since no one else has replied (publicly anyway)....
That darn cat!
You may notice that the cat swats at you when you try for the window.  A quick
lad might pull back just in time to avoid the swat (it's possible).  And an
even quicker lad might then, having just backed away from the swat, make a dive
for the window.  If that cat should happen to have a 'refractory' period
between swats a lad might just make it!

Now, having given strong hints, it still ain't easy - usually luck and keyboard
banging that gets you through.

I'll take the opportunity to mention that Glider+ 3.1.1 was uploaded to America
Online last week.  It works with Sytem 6.07 and System 7 as well as centers
properly on large monitors.  A few other minor fixes as well.  So if you have a
large monitor and got sick of craning your neck or used the newer systems and
had crashes, you might look for it.

	A little while back you mentioned something about Glypha II.  How
is it coming?

Yup.  It's not too hard.
