addedCHANGE: You can now add a save/load slot to SAVE (number) or LOAD (number) which will allow you to select a slot when saving/loading. NOTE: This won't change the default slot set by SAVESLOT

It was causing confusion for some players and due to the way it was being decoded sometimes returned odd results, even though it was understood.
changedWe've also improved the error reporting when a noun is known, but not understood in the current situation, making it easier to understand what was misunderstood.
changedWe've updated the manual to reflect all of these changes, which we were told today by a very old hand to the text adventure scene, was "really retro" - so we must be doing something right.

There are a couple of other improvements behind the scenes that generally make things better!

That's all for now and as always.

Enjoy.
