quirky features that only work when going left:

* walking left through walls at head-height; [snip] These features don't work when going right because of the following
instructions in the right-movement code ONLY which check for a wall-
block to the right of Willy's head:

37025: LD A,(32946) ; colour-attribute of wall in current room
37028: OR A
37029: SBC HL,DE ; HL now points to square to right of Willy's head
37031: CP (HL) ; if that square has wall colour-attribute
37032: RET Z ; then return without moving Willy to the right

Oo, wonderful. I have added the relevant commentary into the JSW
assembly file at http://www.mdfs.net/Software/JSW

Gimmie a moment to upload it... ;)
