1) I walked into an antique shop, used 'm' to move onto a pile of food, used 'e' to eat, was prompted something like "there is food here, would you like to eat it?" I said yes, and left the shop with no problem. Since I die of starvation in 90% of my games now (and L's seldom leave bodies), it is a welcome bug. 2) The two ways of getting rid of a cursed item (engraving and applying pick-axe) have been discussed and fixed. I wondered if anyone knew that applying the pick-axe when wielding a cursed weapon causes the pick-axe to become cursed! Probably the pick-axe fix posted will swallow up this bug as well. 3) If you throw things in shops, even toward a wall (no Mimics), they are put "on your bill". I have had a lot of those funny "unpaid obj on bill?" -type messages lately because I seem to spend a lot of time in shops. I will post any particular situations in which they happen if I can reconstruct them. I have also found unpaid objects in ghost piles but this is probably a feature. 4) This is probably not a bug, but rings of poison resistance do not seem to protect against A's and sickness potions. In the latter, I get the message "...(but in fact it was biologically contaminated OJ)" or somesuch, but my strength still decreases. Tell me, what does an A do that lowers strength, if not sting you with poison? Bill Stoll, ..!whuxlm!wws
