But it would be helpful to tell it. If you get exceptions, always
copy'n'paste the traceback here. People might know what the exception
means and share their wisdom.

Here is the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./text_adventure. py", line 25, in <module>
curses.wrapper( main)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
File "./text_adventure. py", line 19, in main
stdscr.scroll(3 )
_curses.error: scroll() returned ERR

You need to put a stdscr.scrollok (True) in the beginning. That should
avoid the exception.
