To solve the problem of picking up a dead cockatrice in a ghost's possessions
if you don't have gloves, how about 'm' - moving onto the articles without
picking anything up. Then just use ',' to go through them.
Incidentally it isn't wise to fall down stairs with a cockatrice either!

If you pick up a scroll of Destroy Armour, keep it. Then if you've got cursed
armour, take off the rest of your armour and read the scroll. Bingo! the
horrible cursed armour disintegrates! Or of course, you could polymorph the
scroll into something else.
