Thanks Monkey!
I didn't look at that file before because it was right next to the Scripter's
Guide and I'm so not at that level of programming. I have much to learn. At
least with this I can (hopefully) make something playable in less time than it
would take to build a fully-fledged adventure game (which I hope to do in the
future).
Again, thanks! *goes back to messing around with example maps*
