&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Please put your content under this line.  Be sure to sign your edits with four tildes ~~~~ --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have items that should never be in your [[bag of holding]], assign them the same letters for capital and lower case.  As a [[Tourist]], I was carrying out a [[sacrifice]]-fest at an altar, with X - a [[bag of tricks]] available for unlimited recharges with the [[PYEC]].  I also had Z - a [[wand of cancellation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You kill the gnome lord!&lt;br /&gt;
There is a potion of levitation here.&lt;br /&gt;
x - a potion of levitation.&lt;br /&gt;
{{kbd|a}} What do you want to use or apply?&lt;br /&gt;
{{kbd|h}} What do you want to do with the bag of holding?&lt;br /&gt;
{{kbd|s}} (stash one item)&lt;br /&gt;
{{kbd|X}} You are blasted by a magical explosion!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next time, I'll use x and X for the two items that need to stay out of the bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The game isn't lost, because a lot of my stuff was outside the bag by this point; I had so many blank scrolls and potions of holy water that I left most of them in stash, my spellbooks are in stash, and there is another bag of holding in Sokoban.  But it will take a long time to recover many of the lost items; my potions of levitation, boots of water walking, most of my wands, and all of my teleportation scrolls are lost.&lt;br /&gt;
