I have looked at the source code and discovered that the wand of cancellation
have the following effects on monsters, in addition to those printed
in the hint files:

'A' can't weaken you
'c' decreases your chances of being petrified
'F' will not explode
'g' its juices will not freeze you
'h' its bite will not put you to sleep
'k' cancels its poison sting
'N' cancels its seduction but ONLY if you are not blind
'P' will not swallow you
'R' can only rust your helmet
'S' cancels its poisonous bite
'v' can't hold you
'y' will not blind you

While we're on the topic of wands, I have listed them in order of their
probability of occurrence:

wand			prob.	type
----			-----	----
light			.10	NODIR
magic missile		.10	RAY
striking		.09	IMMEDIATE
make invisible		.09	IMMEDIATE

secret door detection	.05	NODIR
create monster		.05	NODIR
slow monster		.05	IMMEDIATE
speed monster		.05	IMMEDIATE
undead turning		.05	IMMEDIATE
polymorph		.05	IMMEDIATE
cancellation		.05	IMMEDIATE
teleport monster	.05	IMMEDIATE
digging			.05	RAY
fire			.05	RAY
sleep			.05	RAY
cold			.05	RAY

death			.01	RAY
wishing			.01	NODIR

However, do note that a new version of the game will be out in two weeks,
so the above information (and those in the hint files)
may not be correct for very long!!
