    My graduate school has been blessed with a complete set of TOS scripts
which they keep in the rare manuscripts collection.  Recently I thumbed
through the index and learned a few things I was unaware of:
    1. Some episodes were renamed before filming (not suprising).
    2. Some episodes were written by famous sf writers.
		(i.e Harlan Ellison, Theodore Sturgeon, Norman Spinrad)

More Importantly:
    The index was arranged in the order they were televised.  However, there
was a fourth section for untelevised episodes, namely:
	The Cage
	He Has Walked Among Us (unfilmed)
	Paleface
	(other titles I can't remember)	
That there are scripts for unfilmed episodes does not suprise me; but only one
(as above) was marked "unfilmed."  Are there actually unseen episodes such as
The Cage? and if so how can we get hold of them?

I posted this question several times to the regular ST group and never got
a reply.

[Note - while articles which are inquiries are not acceptable for r.a.s.i., 
	this article has reliable information that I'd never heard before,
	which is why I accepted it.  I *think* that the "unfilmed" one is
	actually a proposed second pilot that was rejected, but I'm not
	sure.  Follow-ups are directed to r.a.s. - ed.]
