How can you collect the leftmost item in the room "The Silent
Citadel" (00) in "Goodnite Luddite"?

You have to jump through the ramp in "NITE LAW" [3] such that you
just clear the Fire-cell at (9,31).

____________NITE LAW____________ ______THE SILENT CITADEL________
The only way that I can think of is by entering the room from the
left but from a different room than "Nite Law", but I have looked
up all the room exits in JSWED and don't seem to find anything
pertinent.

Not that it's relevant in this instance, but all JSWED tells you is
the four connections /from/ a given room. What JSWED doesn't tell you
is which rooms connect /to/ a given room, which is why I wrote
SPECSAISIE RoomReachJSW.

The current version of RoomReachJSW is sound & complete for JSW48
games which use only 6-bit room-numbers and no teleporters. But
Goodnite Luddite uses 8-bit room-numbers as a quirky feature to
suppress items when you first enter certain rooms, so RoomReachJSW is
not quite complete for Goodnite Luddite.

[sound: never says there is a connection where there isn't]
[complete: always says there is a connection where there is]

Anyway, while I'm here, I'd better update you all with my activities
on the MM/JSW front... or lack thereof.

I currently have 1168 unread emails (and am up to Message 5968 in
this Group), and no time at the moment to make this number decrease.
I will not be updating my MM/JSW web-pages until I have 0 unread
emails, and the way things are going, that could be months away. :-(

My current tennis-distractions will mean little or no MM/JSW for at
least the next two weeks (12th-25th February).

After that, I may have some limited time for MM/JSW (perhaps one day
a week) until the end of April.

And from 27th April to 27th May (when the French Open begins), I hope
to have one good month of MM/JSW before it gets buried in the next
avalanche of tennis.

But even this little time for MM/JSW could be taken away from me...
much will depend on what will happen on Wednesday...
