> What is the wizard's password and what does it do?

I have no idea what the password is.
Depending on the version of rogue you have, once you become "wizard"
you can do things like this:
	Create any object or monster
	Delete people from the topten list, or see their real login names
	Get a map of the floor
	Teleport at any time
	Get an inventory of everything on the level
	Get "help" (+8,+8 sword, 10 experience levels, food, etc.)
	See how much food you have left, in turns
	Identify anything you have
	Look at memory usage
	Peek at the random number generator
	Find your true location
Generally, once you've become wizard you won't be put in the top-ten list
(no doubt to avoid discouraging the underprivileged :-).  Also, some versions
(srogue 2.?, UltraRogue, etc.) have a "control" program so that in addition
to knowing the password, your UID must be recorded in an "authors" file.

In PC-Rogue, the password is a no-op.
