Another thing: the game obviously expects you to get the stone (once it's there, that is) through a partecular sequence of commands:
1. GET STONE (after which the cave exit is blocked)
2. PUT ROCK ON PEDESTAL (after which the exit is open again)

However, if if you do it the other way around:
1. PUT ROCK ON PEDESTAL
2. GET STONE
you get the "exit opens" message when putting the rock on the pedestal, even though it is still open and when you take away the stone (leaving the rock lying on the pedestal), the exit is blocked. The only way to unblock it again is to type TAKE ROCK and PUT ROCK ON PEDESTAL again.
I would have expected the game to recognise the command SWAP ROCK FOR STONE, by the way, but I suppose that's a minor detail...
