   throwing an arrow or a cross-bow bolt IS possible, although
   not very effective, even if you ARE NOT wielding tha appropriate
   weapon (bow, crossbow): therefore, one must FIRST wield the
   bow, and THEN through the arrow.  Rember to wield a sword
   (mace, whatever) after you nolonger need the distance weapon,
   as (again) hitting monsters over the head with a bow IS possible,
   but not very effective.....
