Please refer to exercise 21 in the INFORM Designer's Manual. I want to
extend the basic idea here so that the player can enter something like:
>move slide 1 to 23
or:
>move 3rd slide to 12
(instead of having to write out the ordinal numbers.) I tried simply
extending the parsing routine, ASlide, to test for those cases, but
of course I get the syntax error:
Dictionary words must begin with a letter of the alphabet.
Is there a way around this? Some jiggery-pokery with the ParseNumber
routine or something?
