That is, the "fight" bug.  I was a MU, 12th level, cruising along pretty
well, when I ht a maze level.  This is the time to be an MU; use your
map spell, find monsters, and find treasure spell.  BUT DON'T ATTACK Cs!
I decided the points (and possible treasure) were well worth the effort,
so I went up to a C (gelatinous cube) and hacked on him.  I had my best
armour, protect ring, etc., on, but he paralyzed me.  Even that would
have been recoverable, except that I had used the "fight" command
(rather than "Fight", which does so until one of you are dead), so when
I became un-paralysed I should have stopped.  Instead I went right on
and got killed.

Solutions?  Don't use "f" on things.  Keep your finger on the  key
if you do.

Stupid game.  If only I could ever win.....
