     I have just starting playing Hack and I have several elementary questions.

1:  Which type of charactor is the best to use?

2:  What are gems for, and how does one use them?

3:  How does one use wands?

4:  Does a wizard have any magical abilities, and if so, how does one use them?

5:  Sometimes my charctor seems to start in a closed system.  In one or two 
    rooms from which there is no exit.  What is the procedure when there appears
    to be no further places to move to?

6:  Is there a way by which one can know the properties of a ring or a potion
    before using it?   Do the colors of the potion mean anything?

Thanks in advance,
