Hi people of the world.

A wee young non-netter contact of mine finds that in Kings Quest IV (Sierra)
that every time he digs a hole in the graveyard at night and types "look in 
hole" the whole darn game crashes?????

Is this a software bug? -or is his version just corrupted?
If it is a bug how does one avoid it?  :-)

Me? -I ain't even got that far yet.... :-)

Thanks,

Mike.E

Ps. If anyone knows what I'm waffling on about please bung something in
   the email to me -I study too hard to read this group regularly  :-)
