Taboo Request (v 1.0d)

I can't provide a link to this game as I don't want to fall foul of Shark's policy - 1.0d is the latest incarnation I've managed to track down but I'm stuck and not having any joy finding help so I'm hoping someone in the lagoon will know the answer.

On the paper round following the "After 7 days" the target is 8 newspapers but I can only find 7 boxes. I've checked the saved file and it said 7, so I changed it to 8 and tried that but it made no difference. Reading other boards people seem to be talking about events later than this, so I'm assuming there must be something I'm missing. Does anyone know?

Thanks

It's been more than a year since I played that game and my memory of it is fuzzy but these are the directions from my personal walk-through file.
Exit building
Newspaper 1 (E)
Newspaper 2 (E)
Newspaper 3 (E)
Newspaper 4 (N,W,N,E)
Newspaper 5 (E,N,W)
Newspaper 6 (W)
Newspaper 7 (S,E,W, N, E)
Newspaper 8 (E)
Return to Work and talk to Boss

notes:
. The N,E,S,W letters are the direction I travelled to get to each delivery point, with N being up the screen and E being to the screen right.
. The E followed by a W for #7 doesn't seem to make sense but maybe it does when looking at the actual screen?

Genius!! Thank so much.. Never thought they'd have a postbox inside as well as outside the main gate..

Thank you also to Greyelf .. unfortunately I'd saved the game at 7 papers so your walkthough would've meant having to go back to a much older save - given my previous statement I doubt I'd have found it though :)

Any admin looking in can remove this post now :)
