>OPEN DOOR
It doesn't open by itself.

Skipping the WEST command, as the door is still closed.

> EXAMINE DOOR
It's a naked sheet of metal, a foot taller than you, as wide as your outstretched arms. Beside it is a black plate which is twin to the one outside.

> USE LOCKPICK ON PLATE
That's not a verb I recognize.

Remember, USE is too generic for most interactive fiction to handle. Try more specific verbs, such as...

> PUT LOCKPICK ON PLATE
The pick locks itself rigidly to the black plate by the door. Its status dot flashes to yellow.
