Hero's Quest Cheat Code

This cheat code will only, repeat only work with parser(type commands instead of mouse) games of
Hero's Quest(the earlier name of Quest for Glory). 

Type the following: razzle dazzle root beer. Nothing will happen. So the code should work.
Pressing Alt and a letter will result in some sort of cheat feature. Note--if you exit the current screen,
you'll have to retype the code for it to work.

Alt-T--Warp. Here are the room numbers for several screens. The rest are forest screens. Some
screens don't exist; so if you try them the game will quit. Don't try anything higher than 97 because
there ARE no more rooms after that.

Alt-X-- Changes all character skills to 80.
