In response to your message of Thu Dec 23 01:53:04 1982:

   Re point 5, I would suggest wearing your \worst/ non-removable armor,
because the likelihood of any armor not being rusted down to class 9 by
level 12 is about .00001
   much more questionable is point 7. In versions 5.x monsters will not enter
a room lit by magic but will queue up behind the doors waiting to bash you
(I found this the hard way when I wanted to find out whether a staff was
teleport-to; waited out a whole ration of food with nothing showing up and
then found ~8 monsters behind each of two doors that I'd checked previously.)
