I'm new to playing hack and I was wondering if anyone has any good
hints or informations that will help me get my characters past the 
first couple levels. Some questions below, in particular.

   How do you keep a Wizard alive, while amassing ExpPts by killing
     monsters without using up all charges in wands, especially before
     even knowing what the wand type?

   Do you get ExpPts for creatures your dog kills? How do you give
     your dog a tripe ration? How to you tame a dog? Avoid running
     into him?

   What character is best for a new player? What are the REAL advantages
     of each character class?

   How strong are the various monsters (i.e. HP)? How many ExpPts
     for killing one?

These are just a sample of some questions. I would appreciate any help
I could get so that my character has a chance to get a respectable score
and get past level 3 and Experience Level 3. Thanks.
