To solve the problem of picking up a dead cockatrice in a ghost's possessions if you don't have gloves, how about 'm' - moving onto the articles without picking anything up. Then just use ',' to go through them. Incidentally it isn't wise to fall down stairs with a cockatrice either! If you pick up a scroll of Destroy Armour, keep it. Then if you've got cursed armour, take off the rest of your armour and read the scroll. Bingo! the horrible cursed armour disintegrates! Or of course, you could polymorph the scroll into something else. - David Caldwell, Canterbury, England. "To know is nothing at all. To imagine is everything."
