Wonderful game!  Just tried my first.  Big improvement over hack!  The
authors of hack and all the subsequent contributors are to be
congratulated.

I noticed a couple of things needing work, in my first few games,
today.

1. "/{" doesn't know what a fountain is.

2. The startup screen for picking a character class shows all
   character classes in one part, but only the original six in the
   other.

3. Stepping onto a location with multiple objects just starts picking
   them up from the top, while "move-don't-pickup"ing onto the
   location, then typing "," gets the "there are several objects
   here..."  mechanism started.  I thought hack did both the same way;
   I certainly liked it better with queries all the time.

Thanks again.  If I can quit invoking demons, perhaps I'll get far
enough in my explorations to report other unfinished areas of the
dungeon.

Kent, the man from xanth.
