Newbie question - dreamhold walkthrough?

Hi all,

I have recently discovered IF, and have downloaded the Dreamhold.
Now I'm stuck and the hints provided in the game don't seem to
help me. I tried to find a walkthrough to help me go further but
couldn't find one, I guess I didn't look in the right places (I've
used google, searched the archives of this newsgroup and
looked in the solutions directory of the IF archives).

Does anyone know if there is a walkthrough available for this game,
and where I can find it?

Thanks,
chlorine.

It was the very last command for one ending, "draw diagram".
For some reason I thought you had to draw it on paper and was
frustrated not to find any appropriate paper in the study.
The hint was to finish my work (or something like that) now
that I had the pen and the ink, and knew the diagram.
In my case it would have helped if it had told I had to go
into the cell to do that.

If I have a suggestion for a hypothetic next release, it's
to alter the scoring system: once you have 7 out of 7, you
can reach two endings, but it seems you are very far from
a third ending, if I judge by the number of objects I have
accumulated that are no use to the two endings I've seen.
I find this a little bit frustrating.
Maybe the scoring system could mention from the start
that there are extra points to be had, and say how much
you can get, like for the regular score?

Other than that, I've enjoyed the game, I'm going to try
to reach the third ending I've seen mentioned (hope I'm
not too spoiled now to enjoy it).
