Every turn when the player is in the Hub:

Only use this if you are completely stumped.[paragraph break]Try 'hub' to return to the hub."

	";
	now the command prompt is "Choose a level: ".
	
After reading a command when the command prompt is "Choose a level: ":
	let LSEL be indexed text;
	let LSEL be player's command in lower case;
	if LSEL exactly matches the text "1":
		if the player is in Level 1:
			say "You are already here.";
		if the player is not in Level 1:
