     Wands in this version can be identified with ANY scroll of
identify, (even, for example, a scroll of identify scroll, or armor,
or whatever).  This can be very useful at times :-)  The only hitch
is that you have to know the letter of the unidentified wand BEFORE
you read the scroll, so do an inventory and memorize the letter
before reading any scrolls.

				  Happy hunting,

				      Strider.

P.S.  Don't forget to MOVE  (ie m <dir>) onto scrolls of scare monster
      so you can reuse them over and over on the same level :-) :-) :-)
      Also, don't use up all your food sitting on the scroll of scare
      monster doing s-repeats, as the monsters also build up in other
      rooms without coming to attack you (which they will do as soon
      as you move away from your scroll of scare monster).  Finally,
      once you've identified a scroll of scare monster, MOVE onto
      ever scroll you see later on.  That way you can use the scroll
      you move onto on the level you find it on, pick it up, and
      use it on another level.
