***** Slight Spoilers *****

Just bought a game by SIR-TECH called WIZARDRY.  (First Scenario: The Proving
Grounds of the Mad Overlord.)
First, by way of review, I must admit that the first time I plugged in the
disk, I played for 11 hours straight.  It's that good.  My only gripe is
that no matter what message is displayed in the what's-going-on-window
has an exclamation point after it!
As for tips, I can only offer this time-consuming one:  When in desparate
need of cash, go to the training grounds, create some suckers, bring
them back to the Tavern, get them drunk, steal their money, take them
back to the grounds and slaughter them mercilessly.  An infinite amount
of gold is available in this way.
But, I do have some questions for anyone reasonably familiar with the game:

- What level do my characters have to be to bring them into the second
  scenario?
- What good are those silver keys you find near the boar statue in the
  secret 1x1 room on the first level?
- Where does the Private Elevator (Use Button D and go to end of hall)
  take you?  I've never had a gutsy enough party to use it.
- Is there any way to regenerate HPs without using up spells or leaving
  the maze?
- My game generates 80-col mode letters (with spaces between) when I'm
  not in the maze even using ESC CNTL-Q (to disable the 80-column card
  on my //e) under DOS before booting it.  Can I do anything about that,
  short of physically yanking the card?
- I found the Control Center but can't control anything, what do I need
  to do?

Thanks in advance.
