[net.games.rogue] Dealing with medusa - wrong moves in corridors

	Wrong!  I don't know about your version of rogue ("Medusas"
    don't exist in standard rogue), but in standard 5.3, a move in
    an illegal direction is completely ignored and does not take up
    a turn.
	However, when you are confused, one of the random "directions"
    you can move is not at all.

	Oops.  I made two goofs for which I apologize right now.

    1. Medusas are in the de-gygaxed 5.3.  I thought that didn't
    come out until 5.4. Silly me.  Medusas are fully standard rogue.

    2. Apparently in 5.3 it won't let you play on a small screen.  I
    guess Ken put this in because so many were cheating by defining
    a small screen?
