An easy way to kill shopkeepers?    If you have a wand
of polymorph, write Elbereth (though this doesn't seem to be
too effective) and polymorph the shopkeeper.

	The shopkeeper will usually turn into something worse,
but if you polymorph him a couple (2 or 3 worked for me)
of times, he becomes something good like a G or i and
then you can beat the **** out of him.

	When you've slayed him, you get the gold from
the (whatever) monster and you have a wide open shop and
lotsa goodies.

I've just started playing the new version of Hack
and I have discovered an interesting way to go down 
a level without the shopkeeper (assuming you are not civil
enough to pay your debts).

If you still have your dog and are ready to descend, manuever
a little, until you are on the staircase and your dog is between 
you and the shopkeeper.  The @ will never see you again. (unless
the climb the stairs again).

Forgive the johnny-come-lately if this was already known!!!
