  I havn't tried dropping myself so this may be a bug.
  The only way I have found to get back to the ground is to
  'WAIT' about 5 times and then I gently float back to the
  ground and go about my adventure.

  I also need a few hints..

  1. Is there a way to get the red sphere in the dingy closet??

  2. I have put the lizard to sleep (in the guarded room) but
  how do you open the door???

  3. How do you get to the passage behind the dragon??

  4. What do you feed the cerberus to get into Hades??

  5. Is there  way to get out of the bank with the portrait
  and the money?? I can only get out with one or the other.

  Any help would be appreciated.

     Nick
