(Is this confusing enough?)  Er, yes.   The intent in the original posting
(>>>) was that he read a mapping scroll imediately *after* arriving in
hell via the confusion/teleportation method.  I didn't notice that
the crucial "after" was missing from the sentence.

As far as my comments on reading vs. not reading mapping scrolls in hell,
I guess maybe I'm approaching things a little differently.  I try to
draw things out for a long as possible :-)  There's lots of valuable
stuff down in the mazes, and I include all the monsters to be killed
there as well as the $, gems, and wands in the total.  Your experience
points have some bearing on your final score, too.
