	Has anyone found an effective use for a potion of levitation
	in 5.3 rogue?  This one really has me wondering.

I've never tried this out, but it makes sense that it would work. (Of course,
that's no guarantee)  Trapdoors sometimes occur just in front of doorways, 
making it impossible to enter or leave the room.  Now one would think that
if one were levitating, it would be impossible to *fall* down through the
trapdoor, allowing one to walk (or float) right over the trap and into or 
out of the room in question.  Anyone know if this would work?

Yes -- levitation is useful as a way to get over traps of all kinds.
(Mostly, though, it's just a nuisance.)

If you are levitating, you cannot trigger any traps.  Thus it is useful
if you find a trap that is next to a door.

    It keeps you from falling down trap doors.
    Thats about it.
