ROMAN can be loaded as above but before it is CHAINed it will need to be located at PAGE=&1100 on account of memory requirements. Once loaded, the adventure starts with a 'story so far' message and you will be asked to "Type the filename"; to start from the initial position type INIT and to start from a SAVEd position type the relevant saved filename.
SHELL is a multi-purpose 'shell' adventuring program and is provided for use when compiling any adventure. To load SHELL use the LOAD command, type
LOAD "SHELL"
