I got back to my work in progress and tackled one of those minor niggles that was waiting on the back burner to be dealt with.  A new action worked, but not quite as I wanted.  It needed a little bit of finessing to remove some rough edges and I needed to experiment with various options to get the right result.

One of the things about Inform 7 is the integrated IDE.  You write your code in the source pane, compile and can immediately play in the other pane.  Any problems are highlighted and (usually) it does not take long to change any offending lines any try again.  Five or six attempts later, I think I have the problem sorted.  I will return to it again in a few days time.  Often today’s solution looks half baked later in the week.  We shall see.
