	I have been playing for a few weeks and just can't figure out how to
use some of the things I've found.  I'd appreciate some hints. . .

	What can you use a blank scroll for?

	Is there any way to find out whats in a tin without eating it?

	What is a potion that causes 'Your legs feel better' msg to appear
	called?  What does a xan do when it pricks your legs? You collapse
	under your load, but your strength remains the same.  Any way to avoid
	these little pricks (pun intended)?

	I killed a dragon, but even dropping everything, and with 18/00
	strength couldn't lift it.  I read in the notes that eating one had
	a side effect, so how do I do it?

	Is there a way to get beyond levels with mazes?

	I'd also like to hear of any other clever tricks people have thought
	out or discovered such as reading scrolls when confused to make them
	do novel things.


The following are some neat things we've come up with playing PC-HACK
version 2.nn on a DEC Rainbow.  They may not work for you.


                ********** SPOILER STARTS ********


	How about using a haste monster on your dog?

	Try eating a floating eye, then quaffing a potion of blindness.

	Try the undocumented ^T command.  You may need a side effect for
	it to work.

	Try using the heavy iron ball from a scroll of punishment as a weapon
	especially good for throwing (once you get it off).
