Hi,

	I am a neophyte-but-dedicated rogue, and need help and teachings from
more-experienced rogues on the following:

	1. I have seen in this newsgroup reference to "sending/posting a copy
of a winning game", with comments that this is good only for terminals on which
the game was originally played, since it contained terminal-specific cursor
control sequences.
	   This seems to imply that it is possible during a game of Rogue to
constantly save  the screen output data received by the terminal into a file,
for "replay" after the game is finished. Is this true? Is it a feature of Rogue
or rather of the operating system hosting Rogue? Can it be done on VMS? How?

	2. Are the colors of potions (eg. grey, vermilion, blue ...)
and titles of scrolls (eg. "xcur teahdi akdsf"...) - which are described to you
when you first found these potions or scrolls - consistent and always the same
for each type of potion or scroll? I mean, for example, is the potion of
healing always the same color? Does the scroll of "gods blessings" always have
the same title when found? What about first descriptions of wands/staff?

Thanks.

Van Luong.
