*** NUKE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** It seems to me from my long personal use of hack, that the following apply: 1) Shopkeepers will never attack you unless provoked. (i.e. hitting them, zapping them, etc.) 2) Gold is never part of the shop. You may take it and leave it as you wish. 3) When a shop is plundered you will receive nothing for items dropped until the original number of items in the shop is restored. (i.e. if there were 5 and you take 2 and get away, you won't be able to sell items until 2 are dropped to replace the 2 stolen.) 4) Once you get out with the loot, you can always return and the shopkeeper doesn't remember it was you who stole the loot. If any one feels my analysis is incorrect, lets hear it. Your friend and mine, Chris Barbay

By the way, how do you get rid of the ball and chain? Brad
