If you read an enchantscroll and when it said "As you read the scroll it... -more-" you hit ^Z and sent the process a hangup signal. Rogue would save your game after enchanting the . If you did a rogue -r, you would still have the scroll and your would be one class higher. It did have a tendency to cause confuse monster scrolls to do weird things (i.e. don't read them after you do this); but who needs them anyways when you have a (+8,+8) mace [more like nerve gas] and -6 armor. I don't know if this bug still exists. It seems like the same thing that was mentioned above. -- -- - Jim ihnp4!uwmcsd1!james or uwmcsd1!james@wisc-rsch.arpa
