That same error has happened to me before. It seems to be a common bug. The game uses the <user.**> files to record the status of each level when a user enters and exits it. They can be used to your advantage to "cheat". Typical Scenario: You want all of the magic and armor of a wizard and a knight but you want the inherent qualities of a Speleoligist. Here is what you do: 1. start a game as a wizard. bring him down to level 2. Right before you leave the level , take off armor and drop everything. go to the next level. 2. Once on the 3rd level, use the shell escape key < ! >. 3. Start up a game as a knight and repeat the process. 4. Now, start up your game as a Speleoligist and when you get to level 2 you should be able to find all of the "loot" left from the two previous characters. You can also use these files to "cheat" in another way: If you are in the middle of a game and have a really bad level that you don't want to have to deal with on the way back up; here is what you do: 1. Use the "Shell Escape" method. 2. Start up another game and proceed down to the "rotten" level. Quit!! This will erase all of the <user.**> files stored up to and including that level. Thus, getting rid of all of your problems. Also, on your way back up, new levels will be created , so you might find new shops on your way back upalong with new gems, etc....... I wish I Could win without "cheating", So Long and Thanx for all the fish, Larry Beecher
