McGinty doesn't close his window when he returns to his office #71

Open eriktorbjorn opened 4 years ago

eriktorbjorn commented 4 years ago

There is this special case in I-MCGINTY:

               <COND (<AND <IN? ,PLAYER ,BACK-ALLEY-2>
                   <FSET? ,WINDOW ,OPENBIT>>
                  <TELL "The window gets slammed shut." CR>
                  <FCLEAR ,BACK-WINDOW ,OPENBIT>)>)

It looks like he's supposed to close his window if it's open when he returns to his office. (Though only if you are there to see it?) But it doesn't work, because it tests OPENBIT in WINDOW, rather than BACK-WINDOW.

I don't think it's even possible for WINDOW to be open.
