Doesn’t help with your original silly claim that SET BREAK ALONE can be used to find the last point with Adventure. It can't, you have to examine the code once you work out where the appropriate code is once you work out which variables are used to store the points you have achieved and where the program stores the actions you have taken like picking up a magazine etc and then see what other code references those. SET BREAK ALONE can't do any of that because it doesn’t get triggered unless the player gets that last point and by definition that is what you don’t know how to do.
