How to Beat Emacs M-x dunnet in 5 minutes.

What?

In the emacs text editor there are some goofy commands that play games. M-x (which means Alt+x) is the way to execute a command in the editor, so M-x dunnet starts the game called “dunnet” which is a text adventure. I cheated and won. Defining just one function and setting one variable is sufficient to win. [Here is a text map of the easy path.](https://recentlywritten.com/static/path.txt)) The command prompt is a `>`.

Now in M-: you must login to the VAX console

Eval: (setq dun-logged-in t)

Now back to the dungeon:

$ rlogin endgame
