I am having a problem in the furnace chapter.

You are supposed to "jump" into the car.

What I can't do is "jump". I press the red button and walk to the car but can't seem to get into it.

In addition to jumping how do you run?

Please help.

Thank you

Here is a link to a walk through if you are interested its been a long time since I played the game.

Have you set the three little control levers correctly (before pushing the red button?)

From another walkthrough:

Thanks, Winfrey and Tally Ho.

You might also need to adjust your robot's height, as I recall that can significantly affect how it moves.

In chapter 5 the prison cell.

I am supposed to combine toilet paper and grass to make a cigarette.

How do I combine?

I have tried it in inventory and out and they just don't combine.

I have dried the grass and the paper over the light.

What am I missing?

Let's wait for someone that has played the game to help you, Alan.

Here is a link to a video --it starts where I think you are stuck... watch it and see if it helps... good luck.

Thank you that worked just fine.

Thanks, Winfrey.
