The input routine in hack 1.0.2 does not seem to recognise spaces. This is bad
enough when you have to call a scroll of enchant armor "enchant_armor" or
your dog "the_ferocious_man-eating_dog, but the real problem is with the use
of wands of wishing. Saying "+3crysknife" works, and "genocide" does give you a
scroll of genocide, but how do you ask for more complex things like plate mail
(or +7 plate mail - does this feature still exist in the new version?)
