Sorry - missed that.
Try this saved game I sent.

hi again mag, i have already solved the slider puzzle. it's the map pieces taped together AFTER the secret room i need. thanks, robert.

I thought you can't piece them together because you don't have the other parts of the map. That saved game has all the pieces. You can piece them now.
Or are you saying you can't piece the map together even with my saved game?

my apologies mag. i didn't realize your save included all map pieces. i think i have it now. thanks, robert.

No problem. I thought I was in one of my more confused state.
