You don't actually have to give up the object you use to open the
portcullis.  Once the key has been retrieved, simply step into the
field, and close the adjoining pit.  Step onto the (now solid) square,
turn, and pick up the object that opened the portcullis.  (At least,
this worked for me)

Unless your version differs from mine (which is quite possible),
throwing something through a teleport field does in fact teleport it.
In this case, the thrown object reappears in the 'back corner',
travelling from right to left.  I got a kick out of watching swords fly
out of nowhere, and then off the screen.

Hey! Wait just a rock pickin' minute!  I *LIKED* mapping DM!  But, then
again, I also go in for such fun activities as root canals! :-)
