That's a very good
idea, and I grant permission for you to do so. I thought of using screenshots rather than
text diagrams myself, but that's too much trouble to go to for someone as busy as me. I was
either going to use existing screens, clipped to show just the feature in question, or knock
up simple screens just to illustrate one feature at a time.
I was playing willy to
the rescue last night, and I found a great use of a quirky feature in "the blue room ----
with object"! I've just finished typing wttr into my real Spectrum, and that room was in
the last kilobyte block.
I've been meaning to update my list of quirky features
with the extra ones from We Pretty that I kept secret until it was released, but I haven't
had time to do so. They /are/ listed in the We Pretty readme file,
though.
