Actually, the "copy protection" riddle only has to be solved once, and really
isn't much of a hasle after that (I thought it was kinda fun -- much more
fun than Wizardry's annoying "magic spell" dialog that occurs EVERY GAME)
I will give you a "spoiler" for the coin/rune riddle by e-mail if you want.
For hints, the online help is pretty extensive (except for the coin/rune).
