Ok After defenting the wizard eye I hit the combanation of buttons that the map says to hit but the wall will not move. Its were the I06 sign is. Am I doing something wrong or is the map wrong?

Keep hitting butons!
Eventually that puzzle works - i think RTC differs from normal DM if that is what you are playign, otherwise not sure what has gone wrong, but random pressing served me well before i knew the puzzle

As far as I remember, every button has only 2 states, "on" (1) and "off" (0).
If you proceed systematically you will have to try only 16 times even in the worst case. Think each button to be at 0 initially, so you have 0000, press then on button to get 0001, then press the second button and the first button again to get 0010 (it's easier to remember the combinations you already have pressed that way, although it is not the shortest method), the proceed to 0011, 0100, 0101, 0110, 0111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111
Parting is all we know from Heaven, and all we need of hell.
