Someone here discovered a new possible hack command, and I was wondering
if anyone out there has tried it, or is interested in "hacking" around
with it to make something happen.

If you type a # it will appear up in the left corner of your screen.
If you then type the word "dip," and return, you will receive the prompt:

What would like to dip? (letters corresponding to your weapons)

After you give a response, for instance the number of an arrow you 
happen to be holding, you get the return prompt:

What would you like to dip into? (letters corresponding to your potions)

When you give a letter in answer, you get the following message:

Interesting...

But nothing happens!  There are many suppositions here about what this
could mean, but noone can get it to go any farther.  The most interesting
speculation is that perhaps you can write on a scroll of blank paper,
but all tests thus far have gone no farther than the "Interesting" message.

Any ideas?  Or answers?  This is a good one, I think.
