In proclamation <1vqppu$53k@lll-winken.llnl.gov>,
papp@llnl.gov (Albert L. Papp III) doth speak:
->I am either stuck or have found a bug in the new Curses release.  I have the
->rod of stalking and can use it on the runner-bean plant to create a bean
->stalk, but then it is gone: ie I cannot climb it or even see that it's there.
->Trying commands like up and climb stalk, etc do not work at all!  Now, either
->the beanstalk is just a red herring (and is just there for cuteness), or perhaps

The only red-herring is the mascot, don't bother with it.

->you can only climb it when the stalk is in a certain location, or this is just
->a bug!  If it isn't a bug, can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong?
->
->Thanks,
->-Al
->
->papp@llnl.gov

The thing with the runner-bean plant is that you can't pick it up and then
expect to use it, you leave it alone until you can stalk it.  I completed the
current version of the game with 300 out of 300 points so I figure I got to all
the puzzles unless you can be get a better score than 300.  Perhaps some
message saying the plant dies should appear when you pick it.
