	Everyone I know who plays rogue has his/her own special names
    for scrolls etc.  Here are my answers to the question "call it?"

    Aggravate Monster				AGGIE!
    Restore Strength				DWO*
    Enchant Weapon				MGBFAM**
    Enchant Armor				AGFFAM**
    Create Monster				creat(*monster)

	And others, depending on my mood.  I'm sure there are some
    better ones out there than these!

    *DWO -- Etymology: from "Death Warmed Over" -- a phrase used by
    Mary McNary (early Rogue playtester -- also known as Marty the
    Human Debug Statement) in place of "Warm all over" i.e. "This
    potion makes you feel like Death Warmed Over"

    **One non-bronzed no-prize to the first person who can explain
    to me why I use these.
