	( tale of syntax woe during Cutthroats deleted )

	Problem solved! The correct syntax was indeed FILL TANK WITH
COMPRESSOR ... but, in true absent-minded Infocom-game-player style, I
forgot to account for one glaring action on my part....

	I was still wearing the tank. 

	The message I received when I tried to fill the tank was "That
would require some impressive contortions." I mistook this for one of
Infocom's famous snarky you-can't-do-that expressions, such as "Not Bloody
Likely" and "A Valiant Attempt." Now I have full air tanks and a bounce in
my step. Of course, I now have to figure out how to get the stamp
collection without setting off the mine... but hopefully I'll crack it soon.

	ObDuh: Duh! What kind of diver tries to fill his tank while wearing it?
	
 	Thanks to all those who replied,

	Mike
