Yes... I didn't know that you made it back to the entrance already.

Yes.

The dm commands aren't documented, as far as I know :-(
Some may not work properly (for example, "reset" crashes the server
in 0.94.3). "summon playername" does work, though. You'll need to be
dm --- but then, if you are dm yourself you can do all sorts of cheats
and don't need to summon yourself since you can walk through walls
and stuff.

Load it into an editor and change it :-)

Of course, dm capabilities and savefile editing should not be used to
cheat: they are there to fix problems. The problem you had (being
stuck in a map) is something that is a difficult question for the dm
to decide: should he let you die, or help you out?

Don't know for sure, but I think it's appropiate. That's my personal
opinion, of course. I'll answer mails, no matter whether they are sent
privately or via the list.

I only CC to the author if the mail is from somebody I don't know
(because I don't know whether he has subscribed to the list). If I
know the author is on the list I don't CC.
