: I was able, at last (one try before I decided to give it up). I don't know
: if it is possible from the small wall rising from the middle of the pit
: working as a bridge to the exit - but try it from the point I've marked on
: the map below. Run (SHIFT-<RunKey>) and just before you would fall down
: turn a little to the opening of the room you want to jump at. It seems to
: me that moving the mouse to the front will accelerate you a little more,
: though it's difficult to keep the exact direction with that. As the whole
: room is symmetric it'll work from the left or the right.

: Have fun.

I agree. I couldn't make the jump unless I held down shift, up arrow (to
run fast), AND pushed the mouse forward at the last second. Without the
mouse, I continually fell into the pit. Maybe there's some way, if you
do it just right, that you don't need the mouse. But I think that using
the mouse will work more often than not...
