As my message said, my technique is for rogue version 5.3.  It should work for
5.2 and 3.6 versions of rogue too.  You are either confusing hack with rogue
(one can't drop gold in these versions of rogue) or are playing (heavily)
modified versions of rogue 5.3 (5.2 and 3.6).  Just trying to quickly
clear up the confusion.  Let's try not to flood net.games.rogue over this
misunderstanding.  There are SOOOO many rogue (and rogue-like) versions,
that it will easily confuse novices.  Even the ported versions to PCs
have some things altered too.  Happy rogueing...
