> > Ok, I've been told I need Delhi Shanks to guide me through the desert. By chance I asked about him to the Scottish woman who runs the boarding house---she says you can meet him at dinner. I know that time turns after 6-7 turns outside and stands still inside. But I've tried repeatedly to leave the boardinghouse immediately after a night's sleep and returning within 6 or 7 moves, which should make it evening, but there is no dinner happening. It took me a couple times before to time it just right to be at the dinner in order to return the button to the lady, but that was after 2 times trying. I've tried this at least 5 or 6 times. Is there something else I have to do that I'm missing? inventory is 28 dollars, hat pin, altar cloth, my gun, matches, feather,key, playing cards, cord, spitoon and map.

Go into the hardware store- Go out of the hardware store -Go North to the blacksmith- Go into the blacksmith shop- Go out of the blacksmith shop- Go south to the boarding house. Go in and go down the hall and sit in the chair. Speak to the right person and he will tell you how to find the one you are looking for.

Wow, that's some combination of different actions, huh? I might have used up 10,000 moves before I finally hit on that exact sequence! any way, thanks, I will try that. How are you doing in your game? did you solve it yet? but if so, don't tell me how (ha ha)
