[net.games.rogue] Throwing weapons through walls

I was in the following situation:

 #
 #######
-------+-------
|@............|
|.............|
---------------

and typed the letters 't', 'k' and 'e' (the arrows I started with).  Guess
where I found the arrow?

The situation shown below with throwing stuff through walls also has
somw interesting connotations in the rogue distributed with bsd4.1.  If
you got to a corner, say top left, and throw something in the 'y'
direction, it will magically appear in some strange spot, and turn into
an arrow, or something close.... it's been a couple of years.

Guess what, dragons can do a nifty imitation of your trick.

Wonder whether you can zap or throw back at one.  I couldn't
stand the heat last time.
