If you read a scroll of (say) identify potion, want to use it to
identify a wand, but have forgotten the letter, here's what to do:
use '*' to find out all the potions, and then start at 'a', progressing
through the alphabet but skipping all the ones you know are potions.
Eventually you'll hit on your wand. (Of course, if you have
two wands and you already know about one of them, you might
accidentally re-identify it.)
