I have a couple multi-classed characters -- it was on the Cleric/Mage that
was screwy, as far as I could tell.

I like playing with the keyboard, too.  The problem is, the only way to
edit the icon colors is with the mouse.  I was mystified as to how I was
supposed to do this, until I booted it under 1.3 and realized that the
mouse wasn't working at all under 2.0.  My solution was to use 1.3 to edit
the icon colors, but play the game under 2.0.  But it does make we wonder
if they *tried* the game on a 3000...  Apparently not.
