Some rooms are hidden. Initially, they are not listed by the nown- rooms command, and oto will not take you to them. If you know the name of a such a room, you can reach it via ".Goto ROOM NAME". Once you have visited a hidden room, it will behave just like a regular room as far as you are concerned: oto will automatically take you to this room whenever it has new messages and it will show up on your nown- rooms list. These rooms are used principally for more or less private discussions. They may also be used for a primitive roll- your- own adventure game, the object being to guess the name of the next room from clues in the current room. These can chew up a lot of system time...
