What version of Frotz are you using?
1.5.3

What device model are you using?
iPhone 3G

What version of iOS?
4.2.1

Firstly, thank you so much for this great app, it is a real joy being able to 
access so many wonderful text adventures on my iPhone. I seem to have run into 
a glitch though, do you have advice to fix this?

I was playing Bronze, and I went into the help menu to check something. Then I 
(accidentally) pressed "Story List" which took me back to the screen with the 
list of all my games. I clicked Bronze to get back into the game, and it takes 
me straight back into the help menu. But the keyboard is no longer on display, 
and I can't seem to bring it up (perhaps because the help page does not contain 
a > cursor).

Navigation options within the help menu for Bronze are: N = Next, P = Previous, 
Q = Last Menu, ENTER = Select; but I'm not able to choose of these because I 
can't bring up the keyboard. If I tap the screen, it takes me into the first 
help item. If I tap the screen again, it moves back out to the help menu. 
Repeat ad infinitum, these are the only two things I seem to be able to do. I'd 
like to get back to my in progress game (or latest saved game), but I can't 
work out a way to do that. Even being able to restart would be nice, but every 
time I load Bronze, it goes straight into the help menu.

Any suggestions?

Never mind, I have resolved this issue myself - somehow I hadn't realised 
pressing the button in the top right of the screen (with the pen and paper) 
would bring up the keyboard! So I can get back into my game file now.

Thanks again for producing this app, the link to IFDB is great and everything 
about it I think is really well-designed and user friendly.

Hmmm, maybe I should change the icon image to a keyboard.

By the way, if you do ever get stuck in a game for real, you can force a 
restart by hitting the right arrow next to the game name in the Story List to 
go to the details about the story.  Games which are in progress will have a red 
'restart' arrow next on the left side of the "Resume Story" button.
