  No major bugs so far.  It seems this release is a lot more solid than the
first release of MMI.  My only real quibble with the user interface is that
a lot of the time, one can use letter keys to perform actions, but some times
one must use Command-letter keys.  The distinction seems fairly arbitrary.
While perhaps un-mac like to have a single keystroke cause an action to occur
(i.e. typing 'A' instead of Command-A), it doesn't detract from the user ease
of use.

  Also, auto-mapping is kind of neat.

  I do have a question.  There are a number of monsters that appear immune to
weaponry.  (Dancing Bones, etc.)  Is there any way to kill them in magic-dead
zones where you can't use Turn Undead or mage spells to blow them away?
Seems a little unfair to me.
