Some rooms are hidden. Initially, they are not listed by the [K]nown-rooms
command, and [G]oto will NOT take you to them. IF you know the name of a such
a room, you can reach it via .G(oto) ROOMNAME. Once you have visited a
hidden room, it will behave just like a regular room as far as you are
concerned: [G]oto will automatically take you to this room whenever it has new
messages and it will show up on your [K]nown-rooms list.
These rooms are used principally for more or less private discussions.
They may also be used for a primitive roll-your-own adventure game, the
object being to guess the name of the next room from clues in the current
room. This is somewhat limited by the fact that only 64 rooms are available,
but if you like that sort of thing, go for it! Keep in mind, though, that
these things can chew up a lot of system time...
