>LOOK
(office porch)
You are standing on a small concrete slab outside Linder's office. A sign
between the door and the window reads "PACIFIC TRADE ASSOCIATES". To the north
is a tidy lawn, extending east to the edge of the woods. A path of stepping
stones leads south to the back gate.
>WAIT FOR STILES
Time passes...
Someone enters the property through the back gate.
Do you want to keep waiting? (Answer YES or NO.) >YES
The visitor pushes you out of the way and knocks on the door of Linder's office.
A tall man opens it, speaks to him briefly, hands him some money, and sends him
away.
Mr. Stiles, for whom you are waiting, has arrived.
It's now 9:01 p.m.
>TAKE STILES OUTSIDE
(I assume you mean the back door.)
[Foo!! This is a bug!!]
Mr. Stiles heads off to the south.
Stiles disappears out the back gate.
That's probably because STILES-F doesn't handle the action when you wait for him outside:
(<AND <VERB? TAKEOUT> ;"TAKE STILES OUTSIDE"
<NOT ,TOO-LATE>
<IOBJ? OFFICE-BACK-DOOR MONICA-BACK-DOOR LINDER-BACK-DOOR>>
<TELL "Your key won't fit the cuffs." CR>)

<ROUTINE V-TAKEOUT ()
<TELL "[Foo!! This is a bug!!]" CR>>
